I need some help with a code for a goiter removal. The thyroid and parathyroid were not removed. We were looking at 21555, but is the goiter considered a tumor?
 
A goiter is enlargement of the thyroid gland, so the CPT should be in the 60000-602xx range. Perhaps 60210? Read your operative report to verify.
