Cerumen Removal

Question:

Is the microscope considered “instrumentation” for 69210?  

Answer:

No. The microscope is for visualization, magnification, and/or illumination. It is not an instrument used to remove cerumen as required for 69210.  You must use and document an instrument such as suction, curette, right-angle hook, etc. to support using 69210.
