26-year-old female with a one-year history of a left tympanic membrane perforation has consented to have it repaired. A postauricular incision was made under general anesthesia. Dissection was carried down to the temporalis fascia and a 3 x 3 cm segment of fascia was harvested and satisfactorily desiccated. The tympanic membrane was excised. Using a high-speed drill a canaloplasty was performed until the entire annulus could be seen. The ossicular chain was examined, it was found to be freely mobile. The previously harvested skin was trimmed and placed in the anterior canal angle with a slight overlapping over the temporalis fascia. Packing is placed in the ear canal, external incisions are closed, and dressings are applied. What CPT® code is reported?
Correct Answer:
69631-LT
Explanation:
Rationale: In the CPT® Index, look for Tympanoplasty/without Mastoidectomy. You are referred to 69631. Review the code to verify accuracy. This is the correct code with LT modifier because the repair of the left ear is performed (tympanoplasty) with a canaloplasty, without an ossicular chain replacement or mastoidectomy (removal of a portion of the mastoid of the posterior temporal bone)
