About 31382: Horizontal supraglottic partial laryngectomy with neck dissection
Reports horizontal supraglottic removal of part of the larynx performed with a radical neck dissection, typically for selected supraglottic laryngeal malignancies.
An otolaryngologist or head-and-neck surgeon removes the supraglottic portion of the larynx through a horizontal partial-laryngectomy approach and performs a radical neck dissection as part of the operative service. The procedure is used for selected supraglottic laryngeal malignancies when the surgical plan calls for removing that laryngeal region and cervical nodal tissue while retaining the remaining larynx. It is performed in a surgical facility.
Select this code when the operative report supports both the horizontal supraglottic partial laryngectomy and the radical neck dissection; a different partial-laryngectomy approach or a total laryngectomy calls for a different code. Document the resection performed, neck dissection, and clinical indication. The 90-day global 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, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and other procedures are subject to the standard 50% reduction. Assistant-at-surgery payment may be made; co-surgeon payment requires supporting documentation, and team-surgery payment is not permitted.

31382 billing questions
How does this differ from 31380?
31382 represents the horizontal supraglottic partial laryngectomy performed with a radical neck dissection. Use 31380 when the documented horizontal supraglottic procedure does not include that dissection.
Is the radical neck dissection included?
Yes. The code represents the partial laryngectomy with the radical neck dissection, so do not separately report the same dissection work.
What documentation supports this code?
The operative report should identify the horizontal supraglottic resection and the radical neck dissection, along with the indication for surgery.
Can an assistant or co-surgeon be reported?
Assistant-at-surgery payment may be made. Co-surgeon payment requires supporting documentation; team-surgery payment is not permitted.
How does the 90-day global affect postoperative reporting?
The global includes the day-before preoperative visit and related postoperative care for 90 days after surgery.
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.
