Hi All,

I am hopeful someone can assist me with identifying the most appropriate CPT code for a procedure. Here is the scenario we are trying to verify precertification. We have a patient that has excessive fat and tissue that needs to be removed post auricular (behind the ear) so the cochlear implant magnets can connect. CPT 15839 is the closest thing I have been able to come up with for this. Any suggestions are welcomed.
