Filling In The Mastoid Cavity Behind The Ear

Virginia rates for HCPCS 69670

Fills the hollow, air-filled space in the bone behind the ear that was opened by earlier surgery or eaten away by disease. The surgeon packs the cavity with tissue so it no longer collects debris and moisture. It is done to stop repeated drainage, odor, and infection from an open cavity.
