Stopping Bleeding in the Throat

Vermont rates for HCPCS 42960

Controls bleeding at the back of the mouth and throat, most often after tonsil or adenoid surgery. The bleeding point is found and sealed, for example by cautery or a stitch, and the area is watched to be sure it stays dry. This covers the straightforward version, dealt with without a hospital admission or a return trip to the operating room.
