Myringotomy involves making an incision (cut) in your eardrum to drain excess fluid from your middle ear. Sometimes, myringotomy is performed as a standalone treatment. Often, however, it's combined with tympanostomy, which is the actual placement of ear tubes into your eardrum.
Ear tubes – also known as myringotomy tubes, tympanostomy tubes or ventilation tubes – are small tubes that are surgically placed into your child's eardrum by an ear, nose and throat (ENT) surgeon to help drain the fluid out of your child's middle ear.
Most studies recommend prophylactic removal of tubes after a defined period of time, usually around 2 to 3 years after placement. A preferred method of myringoplasty after tympanostomy tube retrieval has not been established, but most studies recommend grafting the perforation at the time of tube removal.

Tympanostomy is a companion procedure to myringotomy and involves the insertion of a small tube into the eardrum through a myringotomy incision in order to keep the middle ear aerated for a prolonged period of time, and to prevent the accumulation of fluid in the middle ear.
WHAT IS MYRINGOPLASTY OR TYMPANOPLASTY? Myringoplasty is an operation that is performed to close the hole (perforation) in the eardrum. A tympanoplasty helps to address any damage or scarring around the bones for hearing. Sometimes both these procedures are performed at the same time.

A myringotomy is a procedure to create a hole in the ear drum to allow fluid that is trapped in the middle ear to drain out. The fluid may be blood, pus and/or water. In many cases, a small tube is inserted into the hole in the ear drum to help maintain drainage.
Tympanostomy is the surgical procedure to insert ear tubes. This is usually an outpatient procedure. This means that your child will have surgery, and then go home that same day.
During a myringotomy, your surgeon creates a tiny hole in your tympanic membrane (eardrum). In some cases, your surgeon may also perform a companion procedure called a tympanostomy. During tympanostomy, your surgeon places an ear tube in the myringotomy incision.
A myringotomy is a surgical procedure in which a small incision is made into the eardrum. The surgery is performed under general anesthesia and lasts approximately 15 minutes. During the process, the surgeon uses a scalpel to create a small incision in the eardrum to relieve the pressure and removes any excess fluid.

When it is necessary to keep the middle ear ventilated for a very long period, a "T"-shaped tube may be used, as these "T-tubes" can stay in place for 2-4 years. The use of myringotomy and tympanostomy tube insertion has become a widely used and accepted method of treating various middle ear conditions in children and adults.
Tympanostomy is a companion procedure to myringotomy, and involves the insertion of a small tube into the eardrum through a myringotomy incision in order to keep the middle ear aerated for a prolonged period of time, and to prevent the accumulation of fluid in the middle ear.
According to the American Academy of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery (AAO-HNS), myringotomy is defined as a surgical procedure in which a small incision is made in the tympanic membrane (ear drum) for the purpose of draining fluid or providing short-term ventilation. The procedure is also used to relieve pressure caused by excessive buildup of fluid or to drain pus from the middle ear. It is most commonly done as a treatment for OME, but may also be considered as a treatment for ear trauma (including pressure-related barotrauma) and eustachian tube dysfunction in adults.
Children or adults with persistent AOM despite at least 2 different courses of recommended empiric antibiotic therapy. The use of myringotomy as a stand-alone procedure is considered medically necessary for individuals who meet one or more of the following criteria: Neonates with otitis media who are either:
The use of myringotomy alone is considered not medically necessary when the criteria above have not been met and for all other indications.

Please refer to the member's contract benefits in effect at the time of service to determine coverage or non-coverage of these services as it applies to an individual member.
CPT for ENT articles are a collaborative effort between the Academy’s team of CPT Advisors, members of the Physician Payment Policy (3P) workgroup, and health policy staff. Articles are developed to address common coding questions received by the health policy team, as well as to clarify coding changes and correct coding principles for frequently reported ENT procedures. These articles are not intended as legal, medical, or business advice and are not a guarantee of reimbursement. The information is also not meant to serve as the definitive or sole authority on billing and coding issues. The applicability of AAO-HNS billing and coding guidance for a particular procedure, must be determined by the responsible physician in light of all the circumstances presented by the individual patient. You should consult with your own advisors as well as Medicare or private carriers in making any decisions about how to bill and code particular services or procedures.
NOTE: Removal of tympanostomy tubes in the office setting does not meet the criteria of a foreign body removal. If you remove a tube on the same date of service from the same ear for which a repair is performed (e.g. CPT code 69610- Tympanic membrane repair, with or without site preparation of perforation for closure, with or without patch), report only the repair code. This is because removal of the tube is part of the repair service; this is reflected in the higher value of the repair.
