Head and neck surgery
About 31360: Total laryngectomy without radical neck dissection
Reports complete removal of the larynx without radical neck dissection, commonly for advanced laryngeal cancer or selected salvage treatment.
An otolaryngologist or head and neck surgeon removes the entire larynx, rather than excising only a lesion or preserving part of the organ. The operation is commonly performed in a hospital for laryngeal cancer, including selected cases requiring salvage surgery after prior treatment. After total removal, the airway opens through a permanent neck stoma; the patient no longer breathes through the nose and mouth. This code is for the laryngeal removal without radical neck dissection as part of the coded procedure.
Choose this code when the operative report supports removal of the entire larynx and does not document the radical neck dissection represented by 31365. Distinguish it from partial laryngectomy codes by the extent of laryngeal tissue removed, and from 31390 when the pharynx is also removed. The 90-day global period includes the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care. In a same-session multiple-procedure claim, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and other procedures are subject to the standard 50% reduction. Modifier 50 is inappropriate for removal of the single larynx. Assistant-at-surgery services may be paid; co-surgeons require supporting documentation, and team surgery is not permitted.

31360 billing questions
How do I distinguish 31360 from 31365?
Use 31360 for total laryngectomy without radical neck dissection. Use 31365 when the operative procedure includes the radical neck dissection represented by that code.
When is a partial laryngectomy code more appropriate?
Choose a partial laryngectomy code when the surgeon removes only part of the larynx. The operative report should establish the extent of removal.
Does 31360 include removal of the pharynx?
This code describes total laryngeal removal without the pharyngeal removal represented by 31390. When the pharynx is also removed, compare the operative details with 31390.
How does the global period affect postoperative billing?
The 90-day global period includes the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care.
Can assistant or co-surgeon services be reported?
Assistant-at-surgery services may be paid. Co-surgeons are paid only with supporting documentation; team surgery is not permitted.
Should modifier 50 be appended?
No. Modifier 50 is inappropriate because the procedure removes the single larynx.
Where these rates come from
FeeBase calculates base physician payments from CMS work, practice-expense, and malpractice RVUs, adjusted by each locality’s geographic indices and the applicable conversion factor. Unavailable or separately priced services are labeled rather than assigned a made-up amount.
