I am confused on the graft codes during tympanoplasty. I know the graft is included in the code but what if the surgeon takes 2 grafts? He used a temporalis fascia graft and a tragal cartilage graft. Are both included in the tympanoplasty code or can I code for one of them?

Would appreciate any help with this!
 
I have always wondered about this too!

From all of my googling/research I do believe you can only bill for grafts during the tympanoplasty if it was taken from the opposite ear or else it is included in the procedure.
