Doctor did a total thyroidectomy with neuroplasty. Would the neuroplasty be billable, if so what cpt code would I use?
With anteromedial mobilization of the right thyroid lobe, the recurrent laryngeal nerve was identified; however, the nerve was encompassed by a fibrotic response requiring fairly meticulous dissection using the small right angle clamp as well as fine-tip tonsil to free the nerve. For this, a neuroplasty procedure was performed.
