If my doctor performed an endoscopic biopsy of the nasophayrnx, would I still use code 31237, or is there something more appropriate for the nasopharynx?
Thanks for any help!!!:)
 
42804 and 42806 are biopsies performed under direct vision and not endoscopically, CPT 31237 is appropriate for a nasopharyngoscopy with biopsy.
