Can anyone help me with the following scenario?

Placed hydrogen peroxide drops in the left ear, letting it soak for app 5 min. Attempted removal of wax with lighted curette, with some success. Flushed ear with lukewarm water to remove the remainder. Confirmed removal of wax with otoscope.

Can the most extensive procedure (69210-REMOVAL OF CERUMEN WITH INSTRUMENTATION) be billed?
 
My practice bills the 69210 since its the most extensive procedure, since you usually perform the lavage first without much success.
That's my experience anyways.
