Closure of a Breathing Hole in the Neck

Washington, DC rates for HCPCS 31820

Closes the opening left in the neck and windpipe once a breathing tube is no longer needed and the airway is working normally. The edges of the tract are freshened and stitched together in layers so the hole seals. This straightforward version does not involve rearranging skin or moving tissue flaps to rebuild the area.
