Wiki Myringotomy with PE tube insertion

[stacy]

I am new with ENT coding and would like alittle help. My doctor inserted a PE tube along with a myringotomy with aspiration, would the PE tubes be included in that procedure or can I code seperate.
Also does anyone have any good coding seminars or information that I could attend to for this field. Thanks

You would use code 69436 which includes the myringotomy and tube if done under general anesthesia.

how would you code those in ICD 10?

ICD-10CM is Diagnosis coding not procedure coding.

 

[Amy Pritchett]

Are you looking for the ICD-10-PCS code for the myringotomy with tube insertion? Do you work in a facility (Inpatient Hospital Setting)? The ICD-10 is to report diagnosis codes, not procedures codes. They are two separate types of reporting systems.

Also, make sure to bill correctly if bilateral.
