摘要

目的：探讨初级腭裂成形术的发展趋势。设计：利用美国外科医师学会儿科国家手术质量改进计划（PNSQIP）进行回顾性研究。设定：2016年至2021年有记录。患者：所有原发性CPT（现行程序术语）代码42200的患者（仅用于腭裂，软腭和/或硬腭的腭成形术）。干预措施：队列比较“未捆绑”：额外的CPT代码42235（前腭修复，包括腭瓣）与。“捆绑”：单独计费42200。主要观察指标：手术时间、手术专科和其他围手术期变量。结果：共9827例原发性CPT 42200。其中，671个（6.8%）未捆绑销售。非捆绑组手术时间更长（157.08 min vs 133.16 min）；结论：初级腭成形术的收费存在差异。在非捆绑的情况下，较长的操作时间表明增加了复杂性。颅面CPT代码的低估可能导致不标准的计费实践。

Recognizing Variations in Primary Palatoplasty Billing: A Review of 9827 Cases.

Objective: Identify unbundling trends in primary palatoplasty.

Design: Retrospective study utilizing the American College of Surgeon Pediatric National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (PNSQIP).

Setting: Records available from 2016 to 2021.

Patients: All patients with primary CPT (current procedural terminology) code 42200 (palatoplasty for cleft palate, soft and/or hard palate only).

Interventions: Cohorts compared "unbundled": additional CPT code 42235 (repair of anterior palate, including vomer flap) vs. "bundled": 42200 billed alone.

Main outcome measures: Operative time, surgical specialty, and other perioperative variables.

Results: In total, 9827 had primary CPT 42200. Of these, 671 (6.8%) were unbundled. Operative time was longer in unbundled (157.08 min vs. 133.16 min; P < .001). Plastic surgeons were less likely to unbundle (6.2% vs. otolaryngology, 9.12%; P < .001).

Conclusions: Variations in primary palatoplasty billing exist. Longer operative times in unbundled cases suggest added complexity. Undervaluation of craniofacial CPT codes may contribute to non-standard billing practices.
