Parotid gland surgery - (Items 30247 - 30253)

Exposure of the facial nerve and the great auricular nerve with or without mobilisation are considered integral parts of parotid gland surgery and hence part of the complete procedure for items 30247, 30250, 30251 and 30253. As such, co-claiming of items 39321, 39324, 39327, 39330 is not appropriate.
