Just a quick question re: septo/rhino procedures for which I've been debating. A patient comes in for a revision rhinoplasty involving osteotomies and nasal tip work. The patient also has septal repair without any cartilage being harvested for the rhinoplasty. Both procedures are stated to be functional.

Now 30420 describes septorhinoplasty, but it only relates to a primary surgery. If this is secondary rhinoplasty, should I be splitting up my charges into 30520 and 30450? Officially, my encoder program does not show any bundling issues with this. This may be an easy one to answer, but I have not been able to find anything conclusive in my researching. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
