I am struggling with the surgery listed below. Do you think 38724 and 42120 are the only billable codes? See operative note.

The only codes you can bill are as you listed: 42120-LT and 38724-LT

The cheek flap, because it appears to be internal (mucosal), is included in 42120. If the surgeon had used an extraoral tissue graft/flap, then that would have been separately reportable.


Hope that helps,
