I have a physician who performs inner ear steroid injections in the office, per CPT the best code for this procedure is 69801 - Labyrinthotomy - CMS (and other carriers) considers this major surgery and will not pay for it (at least on first submission) with POS 11. I intend to appeal the decision and was hoping for some "tried and true" advice on what to write in the body of my appeal letter. Any assistance is greatly appreciated. Thanks
