CCO Admin asked:
can someone help choose a code : Dr states in op not a total sphenoethmoidectomy was performed with caution maintained not to injure the orbit or intracranial contents.. that is the description; not sure if he did both sinus or one; op note lacks a lot of detail
Answer:
Hi Barbara;
Thank you for your question. Upon review of your question; I would suggest that you query the surgeon. The reason being is that the operative note is missing a lot of information (e.g.; laterality; etc.). Are you able to query the provider?
