Hi All:

What is the cpt code for cpt code for "laryngoscopy with removal of vocal cord nodules"?.Is it 31541 or 31545? I have confusion regarding this, since cpt 31541 states " excision of tumor" ? Please help
 
Unless the op note has a description of a sub-mucosal removal with a flap or auto graft (in the description for 31545), I'd use 31541. A 'tumor' is a mass, not necessarily a cancer.
Hope that helps.
