I am new to ENT coding and have received a denial on a claim coded before I started for a parotidectomy and left radical neck. The codes submitted were 38724, 42426 and 42415 and the 42426 has been denied and I understand that. We don't have a coding companion for me to check the edits and I am unsure if I can bill the 42415 or if it is bundled as well. Any help would be appreciated.
 
Was everything performed on the LEFT side?
Was a RADICAL neck dissection done? Or a MODIFIED RADICAL neck dissection?
Was the parotidectomy TOTAL? Or LATERAL LOBE?
