Hi All,
I need help recently getting back into general surgery coding and I am stumped on it this one
Dr. states he performed a total thyroidectomy with central compartment cervical node dissection
My initial thought was its a 60252 but the surgeon is stating that a central node dissection is a "radical" node dissection of that compartment so he thinks its 60254-
Please if anyone has any advice or references on this
Thanks,
Vanessa, CPC
