A young female with sickle-cell disease, is admitted for a surgical procedure. Under direct visualization with a microscope, the physician makes a small incision in the right tympanum (eardrum). Any middle ear fluid is suctioned and may be reserved for analysis. The physician inserts a ventilating tube into the opening in the left tympanum. No other treatment is required. Before assigning an ICD-10-PCS code for the facility procedure, what must a coding professional do? Determine the exact age of the patient. Check the type of anesthesia used. Find the procedure code including an intraluminal device.
