The doctor performed a salivary duct cannulation, salivary duct dilation, sialendoscopy, and salivary duct kenalog injection. I have code 42650 for the salivary duct dilation and I can't find a code for salivary duct cannulation. I found code 42660 Dilation and catheterization of salivary duct. Does anyone know if either of those codes include the cannulation? I tried doing some research but couldn't find a clear answer. For the sialendoscopy, I can only find the unlisted code 42699 but I'm trying to figure out a CPT code to compare to it. Any ideas of a comparable code for a sialendoscopy? Or is there a better code to use for the sialendoscopy instead of the unlisted code? Thanks!

My guess is 42660 fits the bill for dilation and catheterization with injection (Kenalog).
The cannulation just shows no incision was needed to catheterize.
