This is the op note

"Injected septum with epinephrine and made an incision on the left side. The mucoperichondrial flap was raised posteriorly and the bony cartilaginous junction was disarticulated.The septal spur was removed on the right side, and the flaps laid back down. Suctioned the area and sutured closed.. Performed inferior turbinate reduction with the coblator bilaterally, out fracturing the inferior turbinates. The area was suctioned."

I am thinking 30520 and 30801.

But not sure if I have enough documented to bill 30801. There is no mention of 'submucous' or ' excision' so 30140 or 30130 is out of question.

Is 30801 correct for turbinate reduction?

Thanks
