Can we use a separate code for the nims endotracheal intubation when done with a thyroidectomy and if so what code should i be using.

Apreciate any help with this.

Hi Vicki, I do believe that the NIMS is the facial nerve monitor. If your physician actually inserts the monitor and does all the monitoring while he is performing the thyroidectomy, then I would say yes.

Mostly Neuro/Anesthesiologists perform that part. we have a company that does all the monitoring on our thyroid and parotid surgeries
