Help! doc did an excision of nasopharyngeal mass. I can't find a code for excision. She also used 2 different approaches. Endoscopic and oral approach. Thanks in advance for any help!!
 
We use 42808 for the excision and 31231 for the endoscopy. There's not a code for an endoscopic excision of a mass so we bill both of these codes to report this type of procedure. Hope this helps!
 
Thanks! I had finally come up with 42808 but missed the endoscopy so I added that in addition. Really appreciate your help
