What is the most accurate code for a glossectomy?

For this procedure, the most accurate codes would be 41120 along with 38724-59. However, remember that some payers may require the coder to incorrectly code the service as 41135 for the partial glossectomy with radical neck dissection, even though the antiquated code (41135) does not reflect exactly what was performed.

What is a glossectomy?

Glossectomy is the surgical removal of all or part of the tongue, usually due to cancer. You’ll select from the 41120-41155 range when reporting this procedure.#N#Codes 41135 Glossectomy, partial, with unilateral radical neck dissection and 41145 … complete or total, with or without tracheostomy, with unilateral radical neck dissection refer to glossectomies with radical neck dissection. These procedures sacrifice the spinal accessory nerve, jugular vein and sternocleidomastoid muscles so the surgeon can remove the malignant lymphatic chain. Today, surgeons prefer to perform modified radical neck dissections whenever possible, so as not to jeopardize function of the spinal accessory nerve, jugular vein and sternocleidomastoid muscles. Because the codes for glossectomy were created years ago, the CPT® codebook does not provide for this modern and more common technique.#N#Modified radical neck dissections are more complex than radical neck dissections. To accurately report these services, coders should not report 41135 and 41145. Instead, report the appropriate code that refers to glossectomy without radical neck dissection (such as 41120, 41130, 41140 or 41150), along with 38724 Cervical lymphadenectomy [modified radical neck dissection]. Append modifier 59 to 38724 since the modified radical neck dissection is bundled into the codes that describe glossectomy without radical neck dissections.#N#For example, the surgeon finds that a patient with a painful left tongue lesion for the past four months has a 3.5-cm ulcerated lesion of the left lateral tongue and a 2.5-cm firm mass in the right midjugular region. She biopsies the tongue lesion, which turns out to be a squamous carcinoma. The physician performs a partial glossectomy and a modified radical neck dissection. For this procedure, the most accurate codes would be 41120 along with 38724-59. However, remember that some payers may require the coder to incorrectly code the service as 41135 for the partial glossectomy with radical neck dissection, even though the antiquated code (41135) does not reflect exactly what was performed. This is what happens when third-party payer reimbursement does not match pure coding rules or current surgical trends.

What is a radical neck dissection?

If the surgeon performs a radical neck dissection (38720), he removes the lymph nodes as well as the sternocleidomastoid muscle, the spinal accessory nerve and the internal jugular vein Modified radical neck dissections (38724) are unilateral procedures in which the surgeon dissects the neck, but spares the sternocleidomastoid muscle, the spinal accessory nerve and the internal jugular vein. The surgeon may also document a “functional” or “selective” neck dissection when he performs a modified radical neck dissection.#N#Report 38700 only when the surgeon removes only the nodes above the thyroid. Remember that a laryngectomy is included in a thyroidectomy and cannot be billed separately since the thyroid is wrapped around the larynx. Laryngectomy and intubation are also bundled and should not be reported separately. Appending modifier 59 will not separate this bundle even if the thyroid is being removed for a separate reason, (such as for a neoplasm of the thyroid).#N#Barbara J.
