Wiki Coding help for: TrueTears Optic Neurostimulator and Coolsculpting fat freeze

[Medicalcodinged]

Would sincerely appreciate coding assistance with the following technologies:

TrueTear handheld optic neurostimulator device just approved by FDA for patient home use to stimulate tear production. Rechargeable base with disposable tips that are placed intranasal for nerve stimulation. How to code? Home Neurostimulator Device Intranasal that is not implanted or transcutaneous.

Also would like to confirm that there is not a code for Coolsculpting. A procedure where fat cells are frozen and then are eliminated from the body. Since this is a cosmetic procedure, I understand that there may not be any relevant coding to be submitted to an insurance company. Just want to make sure that I haven't overlooked anything.

Thanks for the help!

I believe both are unlisted codes. Cool sculpting should not be sent to insurance company even if a code existed. Also FDA approval doesn't automatically make a treatment covered either.

An article about truetear I ran into, it sounds as if its highly unlikely it would be payable at this point.
