What 69641 covers

An otolaryngologist, often a neurotologist, performs this operation to repair the tympanic membrane while operating on the mastoid and middle ear. It may be used for chronic ear disease, including cholesteatoma, when the surgical plan requires mastoidectomy along with tympanic membrane reconstruction. Canalplasty and related middle-ear work are included when performed as part of the service. The procedure is typically done in an operating room, such as a hospital or ambulatory surgery center.

Select the code from the operative work: tympanoplasty with mastoidectomy, with no ossicular chain reconstruction. The operative report should describe the tympanic membrane repair, mastoid work, middle-ear procedures, and whether the ossicular chain was reconstructed. The day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care are included in the global period. For multiple procedures in the same session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and other procedures at 50%. For bilateral reporting with modifier 50, CMS pays 150%. Assistant-at-surgery services are not paid; co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.
