Wiki Otoendoscopy - Code??

[lapcpc]

Procedure performed was bilateral myringotomies with pressure equalization tube placement and bilateral otoendoscopy. Wondering if there is a separate CPT code for the otoendoscopy?

Thanks, Lori

otoendoscope

Lori,

If the otoendoscope was used in conjunction with performing the bilateral myringotomies with tubes, the scope would be included in that procedure.

The scope would not be billed separately. I hope this helps.
