Medicare allowed amount for participating (non-QP) physicians, before deductible, coinsurance and claim adjustments. Not a patient’s bill or a hospital charge.

What 31599 covers

31599 is the unlisted CPT code for a procedure on the larynx that has no specific listed code describing the work. Otolaryngologists may report it when the procedure is not represented by a defined laryngeal service; it is not a substitute for a listed code that accurately describes what was performed. Diagnostic laryngoscopy, laryngoscopy with biopsy, laryngoscopic lesion removal, and laryngeal medialization each have specific codes when those services are performed.

Medicare assigns physician fee schedule status C (carrier priced): CMS publishes no national payment, and the Medicare Administrative Contractor sets payment for each claim. The contractor sets the global period. For multiple procedures performed in the same session, the standard multiple procedure reduction pays the highest-valued procedure in full and the other procedures at 50%.

This summary was written with AI assistance from CMS physician fee schedule data and checked against the CMS billing rules shown here. Rates on this page come directly from CMS files.
