CPT Knowledgebase - Oct 26, 2023

Is there a timeline or guideline that specifies when the laryngoscopy with subsequent dilation code (31529) should be reported instead of reporting the initial dilation code (31528) when the patient has had dilations in the past, because various opinions exist about whether coding should be based on whether the patient has had dilations in the past, previous dilations within a time frame such as 90 days, or previous dilations at the same group practice?
