Wiki BMT Check

[debnance2@icloud.com]

We placed tubes in this kiddo in April. He was in yesterday for routine follow-up. My doc codes ETD and FB bilateral. My quandry is the FB T16 - would this be initial (don't think so because we did not remove them) subsequent (it was a follow up) or sequela (the tubes were a sequela to the BMT???) Stumped.

I would bill Z96.22 - Presence of Myringotomy Tubes, Status.

It simply states that there are no problems and the reason for the encounter is to check on the status of the ear tubes.

Hope that helps!
