What 69100 covers

This service obtains tissue from the visible external ear, such as the auricle or pinna, when a lesion requires histologic diagnosis. Otolaryngologists and dermatologists commonly perform it in an office or procedure room. The sampled structure distinguishes this code from a biopsy of the external auditory canal: a lesion on the pinna is the relevant site, not a lesion deeper in the canal.

Choose the code according to the biopsy site and service performed. Document the exact ear subsite, lesion, reason for sampling, and procedure performed. A 0-day global period includes same-day preoperative and postoperative care. When multiple procedures are performed in one session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and other procedures are subject to the standard 50% reduction. Modifier 50 is inappropriate for this code. Medicare does not pay an assistant at surgery, and co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.

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.

69100 billing questions

How is this different from 69105?

69100 is for tissue sampled from the visible external ear, such as the pinna. Use 69105 when the biopsy site is in the external auditory canal.

Can the pathology examination be billed separately?

The biopsy code represents tissue acquisition. A separately performed pathology examination may be reported by the responsible laboratory.

Should modifier 50 be used when both ears are biopsied?

No. The CMS bilateral adjustment does not apply, and modifier 50 is inappropriate for this code.

What happens when another procedure is performed in the same session?

The highest-valued procedure is paid in full; other procedures are subject to the standard multiple-procedure reduction. Same-day preoperative and postoperative care is included in the 0-day global period.

What documentation supports reporting this code?

Record the lesion, the precise external-ear site sampled, the reason for tissue diagnosis, and the biopsy performed. The documented site should distinguish the auricle or pinna from the ear canal.

Can an assistant surgeon or co-surgeon be reported?

Medicare does not pay an assistant at surgery for this service. Co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.

Where these rates come from

FeeBase calculates base physician payments from CMS work, practice-expense and malpractice RVUs, adjusted by each locality’s geographic indexes and the conversion factor. Services without a published rate are labeled, never given a made-up amount. Amounts are Medicare allowed amounts before claim adjustments: not a patient’s bill or a commercial rate.
