Hello. Is there a separate code to bill with 31030 when the doctor used nasal endoscopy during the procedure?

The procedure reads: "Using both 0 and 45-degree telescopes, the mucosa was carefully removed from the floor of the maxillary sinus as well as the lateral and medial walls. Mucosa was also stripped from the roof of the ethmoid sinus. The mucosa was removed using various techniques..."

Any thoughts are greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
