Thyroid Removal for Cancer With Node Removal

Maine rates for HCPCS 60252

Removes all or nearly all of the thyroid gland at the base of the neck because of cancer, and also clears a limited group of nearby lymph nodes so they can be examined. It is done through an incision low in the front of the neck. Because the gland is gone, thyroid hormone tablets are needed afterwards to replace what it used to make.
