Vocal Cord Injection Through A Scope

Idaho rates for HCPCS 31570

This is a procedure in which a rigid scope is passed down the throat to directly view the voice box, and a substance is then injected into one or both vocal cords to improve their function. It's used to treat problems such as a vocal cord that isn't closing fully, which can cause a weak or breathy voice. The procedure is done under anesthesia since a rigid scope is used.
