Procedure: Right submucosal resection of inferior turbinate

At this point, a small stab incision was made in the head of the right inferior turbinate. Cottle was used to elevate the mucosa off of the bone. The ArthroCare Coblator was inserted and 2 passes were made superiorly and inferiorly to ablate the submucosal tissue of the inferior turbinate. Once this was done, a Doyle splint was used to outfracture the inferior turbinate.

I see 30802 and 30930 rather than 30140.....Thoughts!!!
