Good afternoon.
Surgeon performed the following operation:
Right subtotal thyroidectomy and left partial thyroidectomy.
I am a bit confused as to what code(s) to use:
During my CPC training we had a similar scenario and it was coded: 60212 LT
However, I was advised to use 60200 Lt and 60210 Rt.
Can someone please assist?
Thank you.
