Thoughts?

That's not separately billable. See this article:

If that was all that was done, it's included in the E/M.

That article was old...here's a more recent one: http://www.practicevelocity.com/urgent_care/coding/cerumen_69210.php
(Still old...sorry)
It's in CPT Assistant, also, but I don't have access to that.

Thank you Brandi... I will check them out.
I will have to see if it is a procedure or just included with the E/M....
