Earwax Removal by Irrigation, One Ear

Wyoming rates for HCPCS 69209

A provider clears impacted earwax from the ear canal by flushing it with water or a similar solution, rather than using instruments to remove it. This is done for a single ear and is typically used when the wax is soft enough to be washed out. It is a less invasive approach to relieving symptoms like hearing trouble or ear discomfort caused by wax buildup.
