چکیده
Myringotomy and tympanostomy are related terms that are sometimes used interchangeably to describe an opening in the tympanic membrane. In this policy, the term myringotomy will be used to describe a temporary opening in the tympanic membrane without insertion of a pressure-equalizing tube (PET), while tympanostomy will be used to describe an opening in the tympanic membrane in conjunction with insertion of a PET. This categorization is consistent with the CPT coding of these 2 procedures.
