Wiki help with nose bleed procedure

[ggparker14]

Need opinions for procedure to control nose bleed. Not sure if 30901 would be appropriate code.

procedure:I placed 3 epinephrine soaked cotton pledgets in the right nostril. These were removed after 25 minutes and no blood or bleeding site was noted.

Thanks for any help.

I think this is correct code. It is not important what the physician is doing to treat it. If it is simple packing without coagulation too, it should be 30901.
