Is anyone in Utah being paid for code 31299 balloon sinuplasty? We have a new doc who said the balloon is paying paid for on the East Coast.
 
Well here is an East Coast Girl, and I can tell you that it is a strugle and it takes ALOT of documentation and usually a second level appeal to get paid for a Balloon Sinuplasty.

One of my DOCS is activelly working with the AAOHS-HNS. hopefully we will have resolution in 2011 :)
 
Good news is that in 2011 balloon sinuplasty has been assigned a code!

Look at 31295, 31296 and 31297


not sure what these will be reimbursing at though, as the device is very spendy!!!
