PREOPERATIVE DIAGNOSIS:
Nasal fracture.
I need some assistance with this, the physician office when it was scheduled used CPT code 30905 but isn't this code for nasal hemorrhage specifically? If anyone has another idea, please let me know. I appreciate your time! I work at an ASC and this is for a commercial payer.
POSTOPERATIVE DIAGNOSIS:
Nasal fracture.
OPERATION:
Removal of nasal packing posterior required for nasal support.
DESCRIPTION OF PROCEDURE:
Under IV sedation, the Merocel packing was placed. It was carefully removed. The nose was suctioned. The cast had come off over the weekend at home.
The nasal reduction was excellent. No further treatment was required. Cole was awakened and returned to recovery in satisfactory condition without complication.
