Hello!

We are billing for sinus surgeries and I wanted to make sure I am billing with the appropriate modifiers and codes. Humana is not paying a correct reimbursement on these. I want to make sure we are billing correctly.

We billed for Bilateral frontal sinusotomies, Bilateral maxillary anstrostomies, Bilateral total ethmoidectomies, Bilateral spenoidotomies, Endosopic septoplasty, Inferior turbinate reduction in a submucosal fashion, Use of brainlab image guidance system.

Any Input is appreciated? Thanks!
 
I can speak on everyone's behalf by stating that it is difficult to answer you without proper documentation to read. Although the prut ocedures performed are listed, I wouldnt feel comfortable confirming those CPT codes without reading the operative report. You can however feel free to email me personally or post the procedure in detail and i would be happy to help :)
