Simple Revision of a Neck Breathing Opening

New Jersey rates for HCPCS 31613

Reshapes or repairs the surgical opening in the neck that a person breathes through, when it has narrowed, scarred, or healed into a shape that causes problems. The surgeon trims and re-sews the edges so the opening stays the right size and stays easy to use. This is the straightforward version, done without rotating a flap of nearby skin into the opening.
