CMS establishes billing code for endoscopic balloon dilation

CMS created a code for endoscopic balloon dilation, a procedure to treat Eustachian tube dysfunction.

Eustachian tube dysfunction occurs when the tubes connecting a person's middle ear to the upper part of his or her throat are plugged.

The code, C9745, is effective July 1. The payment code is associated with a national average payment of $4,130 in the hospital outpatient department.
