Insert Temp Infus Dev in R Inner Ear, Open, New Tech 11

This code describes the surgical placement of a temporary device designed to deliver medication or fluids directly into the inner ear on the right side. This procedure is performed via an open incision, allowing direct visualization of the surgical field. The device itself is considered a novel technology belonging to a specific innovation group.

This code is appropriate for procedures involving the surgical insertion of a temporary inner ear infusion device for conditions such as sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSNHL) or Meniere's disease, where direct drug delivery to the cochlea or vestibular system is indicated. It applies when the approach is open, rather than percutaneous or endoscopic, and the device used falls under New Technology Group 11.

• Verify the approach was explicitly "open" and not a less invasive method.
• Confirm the laterality is "right" and not left or bilateral.
• Ensure the device used is specifically for "infusion" and is classified under "New Technology Group 11."
