Needing some clarification- Am I able to bill septoplasty (30520) as well as septal swell body reduction (30999) during an in office balloon procedure?
I am also curious if I bill Turbs (30140) along with the septal swell bodies (30999) will they consider that to be unbundling? - as I have read the turbs(30140) are physiologically similar.
Lastly, can I use the cpt code 30117 x2 for swell body reduction instead of the unlisted code 30999 when the operative report says "bilateral destruction of intranasal tissue by shaver and cautery using internal approach - under nasal endoscopy a small incision was performed anterior to the swell body lesions, the shaver was introduced through this incision and the swell body lesions were shaved. The electric cautery was then introduced finalized the ablation of the swell body lesions, procedure was performed bilaterally."
Thank you so much for any and all information.
