Hi, I'm new to ENT coding and was looking for advice on a cpt code for a turbinoplasty, thanks in advance for all responses:)
 
30140 (submucous resection of inferior turbinate partial or complete)
If the description of the submucous resection of the turbinates reflect that the physician entered/incised the mucosa and for the most part preserved it.

30130 (Excision of inferior turbinates partial or complete) if the surgeon fully excises the turbinates
