About 69662: Revision of stapes surgery
Revision stapes surgery addresses a problem after prior stapedectomy or stapedotomy, such as recurrent conductive hearing loss from prosthesis displacement or refixation.
An otologist or other otolaryngologic surgeon revises a previously operated stapes when the earlier stapedectomy or stapedotomy has not produced durable hearing improvement or a later problem requires surgical correction. Examples include a displaced prosthesis or recurrent fixation affecting sound transmission. The procedure is generally performed in an operating room with microscopic visualization, often for a patient with recurrent conductive hearing loss after prior stapes surgery.
Report 69662 for revision of the prior stapes operation, rather than for an initial stapedectomy or stapedotomy. The operative report should identify the prior procedure, the reason for revision, and the stapes or prosthesis findings and corrective work. Medicare assigns a 90-day global period, including the day-before preoperative visit and related postoperative care during the following 90 days. 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% multiple-procedure reduction. Bilateral reporting with modifier 50 is paid at 150%. Medicare does not pay an assistant at surgery for this code; co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.

69662 billing questions
When should 69662 be chosen instead of 69660 or 69661?
Use 69662 when the surgeon is revising a prior stapedectomy or stapedotomy. Codes 69660 and 69661 describe stapes operations that are not revisions.
What documentation supports reporting a revision?
Document the prior stapes procedure, the reason for reoperation, relevant operative findings, and the corrective work performed. Findings such as prosthesis displacement or recurrent fixation help explain the revision.
How does the 90-day global period affect postoperative billing?
The day-before preoperative visit and related postoperative care for 90 days are included in the global period. Routine follow-up for the revision is not separately reported during that period.
How is bilateral performance reported?
For bilateral procedures, report modifier 50; CMS pays the bilateral procedure at 150%. The operative documentation should support work on both ears.
Can an assistant or co-surgeon be billed?
Medicare does not pay an assistant at surgery for 69662. Co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.
What happens when another procedure is performed in the same session?
The highest-valued procedure is paid in full, and other procedures are subject to the standard multiple-procedure reduction. The operative record should support each separately reported service.
