Eardrum Incision And Drainage Under General Anesthesia

Montana rates for HCPCS 69421

A small incision is made in the eardrum to drain fluid trapped in the middle ear and, if needed, to inflate the eustachian tube, while the patient is under general anesthesia. This version is used when general anesthesia is required to safely perform the procedure, most often in young children.
