2025 – Nose and Endoscopic Sinus Surgery
$159.00
When coding for nasal and endoscopic sinus procedures, it’s essential to follow a checklist to ensure accurate CPT code selection from the appropriate code set. For instance, with a nasal fracture, consider whether the fracture is current. If it’s not, what treatment was provided—septoplasty or rhinoplasty? Did the physician perform balloon dilation of the sinus alone, or were cutting instruments used to enlarge the sinus ostium? When removing sinus tissue, was suction and irrigation employed, or did it require surgical instrumentation?
In each case, the coding decision hinges on the specific techniques used. In this coding course, we will explore the necessary coding guidelines to help you make informed coding choices.
