The CPT® code book provides full descriptions of medical procedures, although some descriptions require the use of a semicolon (;) to distinguish among closely related procedures. What is the full description of CPT® code 69644?
A.
Tympanoplasty with mastoidectomy (including canalplasty. middle ear surgery, tympanic membrane repair); with intact or reconstructed canal wall, with ossicular chain reconstruction
B.
Without ossicular chain reconstruction with intact or reconstructed canal wall, with ossicular chain reconstruction
C.
With intact or reconstructed canal wall with ossicular chain reconstruction
D.
Tympanoplasty with mastoidectomy (including canalplasty. middle ear surgery, tympanic membrane repair); without ossicular chain reconstruction with intact or reconstructed canal wall, with ossicular chain reconstruction
The reason this is incorrect is because the question is asking for the full description of 69644, which can be read as the ones indented below 69641 are similar procedures except for the portion after the semi-colon, so you are partially correct but it is not the addressing the question itself literally. Option A reflects that, if you read it closely you will see that.
