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

What 69502 covers

An otolaryngologist performs this operation to open the mastoid behind the ear and remove diseased air cells. Typical indications include chronic mastoid infection or cholesteatoma involving the mastoid. The operative report should make clear the extent of the dissection and distinguish it from a more limited mastoid operation or a more extensive procedure. This service is generally performed in a hospital or other surgical facility.

Select the code from the documented operative work, not the diagnosis alone. The 90-day global period includes the day-before preoperative visit and related postoperative care during the 90 days after surgery. When multiple procedures are performed in the same session, Medicare pays the highest-valued procedure in full and reduces the others to 50%. For bilateral surgery, modifier 50 is paid at 150%. Assistant-at-surgery payment requires documentation of medical necessity; co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.
