The S074 code is used to determine the basic units for calculating fees for surgical assistant and anaesthesiologist services when a surgical procedure on the oesophagus is performed via a thoracic approach, and a specific fee is not otherwise listed. This code itself is not a billable procedure for a surgeon but provides the foundation for calculating assistant (suffix B) and anaesthetist (suffix C) fees. See the 'Surgical Assistants' Services' (-) and 'Anaesthesiologists' Services' (-) sections of the General Preamble for detailed calculation rules.
