Wiki Ear Irrigation 69210

[stephmescher]

Wondering if anyone could give me a link to get the guidelines that state that the physician needs to be the only one using instrumentation for 69210? Also the nursing staff to do irrigation without instrumentation?

Thanks for your help
Steph

62210 is not an ear irrigation it is an impacted serum removal which is a provider using a scoop or a curette. 69209 is an ear irrigation code which can be performed by nursing personnel.
