My surgeon removed a benign mass from the nasopharynx, method was by adenoid curette. The order was placed for adenoidectomy with nasopharynx bx, and submitted as a 42831, however the adenoids were not removed. Is this the correct CPT for the biopsy since he removed the entire mass? I do not think 42804-42806 are fitting here since the entire mass was indeed removed. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!
