Major Revision of a Cleft Palate Repair

Nationwide rates for HCPCS 42215

This surgery substantially revises an earlier cleft palate repair when the initial reconstruction did not achieve a good result, such as a persistent opening, poor healing, or ongoing speech and feeding problems. The surgeon reopens and reworks the previously repaired tissue to improve the shape, closure, and function of the palate. It is a more involved procedure than the original repair because it must work around scarred tissue from the prior surgery.
