Intraoperative Laryngeal Nerve Monitoring with Thyroidectomy Procedures

Question:

Are we able to bill for laryngeal nerve monitoring with thyroidectomy procedure?

Answer:

No – CPT is very clear in that intraoperative monitoring (e.g., 95940, 95941) is included in the global surgical package for the surgeon and should not be separately reported.
