M028 – Dilation of choanal atresia

The surgical benefit does not include the major pre-operative visit - i.e. the consultation or assessment fee which may be claimed when the decision to operate is made and the operation is scheduled, regardless of the time interval between the major pre-operative visit and surgery.

The hospital or day care admission assessment (consultation, repeat consultation, general or specific assessment or re-assessment, partial assessment) may not be claimed by the surgeon unless it happens to be the major pre-operative visit as defined above.
