Reshaping of the Internal Nasal Valve Region

Question:

My physician has started doing repairs for nasal valve collapse using low energy radiofrequency. We have been using the unlisted code 30999. Another coder told me that is no longer the correct code. Can you help?

Answer:

There is a new CPT code 30469 for reporting remodeling of the nasal airway using low energy temperature controlled radiofrequency which was previously reported with the unlisted code 30999.
