What 69910 covers

An otologist, neurotologist, or other otolaryngologic surgeon removes the inner-ear labyrinth through a mastoid approach. The operation is used for disabling vertigo that persists despite treatment, such as in selected patients with unilateral Ménière disease and nonserviceable hearing in the affected ear. It ablates vestibular function on that side and sacrifices any remaining hearing there. The procedure is generally performed in an operating room.

Report 69910 when the documented operation includes labyrinthectomy with mastoidectomy; the mastoid approach and removal of the labyrinth are represented together by this code. The operative report should identify the treated side, the mastoid approach, the labyrinth removal, and the clinical reason for surgery. CMS assigns a 90-day global period, including the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care. For multiple procedures in the same session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and other procedures are subject to the standard 50% reduction. Modifier 50 for bilateral surgery is paid at 150%. Assistant-at-surgery payment requires documentation of medical necessity; co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.
