Simple Cleaning Of A Mastoid Surgical Cavity

West Virginia rates for HCPCS 69220

This is the cleaning out of debris, wax, or discharge from a cavity left behind after prior ear or mastoid bone surgery, done as a straightforward office procedure. Regular cleaning of this type of cavity helps prevent infection and keeps it healthy since it doesn't drain and self-clean the way a normal ear canal does. It's typically quick and doesn't require anesthesia beyond what's needed for comfort.
