Based on the answers to the four questions above, we can determine that CPT code 60220 is the right code for this procedure.

The thyroid is approached (meaning the surgeon gains access to the thyroid) through an incision in the neck.
If you are new to coding ENT procedures, the thyroidectomy section of the CPT manual can be daunting.

Thyroid nodules are classified to ICD-9-CM code 241.0, Nontoxic uninodular goiter. If the thyroid nodule occurs with hyperthyroidism or thyrotoxicosis, assign code 242.1x.
