Tongue Lesion Excision 

Otolaryngology (ENT)
Written By Joba Studio

Question:

My physician always bills a glossectomy CPT code 41120 when removing a lesion from the tongue.  Is this correct?

Answer:

No this is not correct.  The glossectomy codes require the removal of a portion or all of the tongue.  When a lesion is removed report a code from CPT 41112-41114.

*This response is based on the best information available as of 2/29/24.
