Hello ENT coders:
A curved suction was passed into the left frontal sinus. Additionally, polyps in the right superior meatus are removed with microdebrider and are followed into the right sphenoid sinus which is opened widely.
Can 31253 bilat be billed for exploration of frontal sinus? Or does it have to include removal of tissue from frontals? (total ethmoidectomy and sphenoidotomy with removal of tissue from sphenoid was done as well)
What would CPT codes be?
thank you
