Submucosal Repair with Lateral Wall Implants  

Otolaryngology (ENT)
Written By Joba Studio

Question:

What code do I use for a unilateral repair of a nasal valve collapse with submucosal wall implants on one side?

Answer:

You would report CPT code 30468 (Repair of nasal valve collapse with subcutaneous/submucosal lateral wall implant(s)).  You will need to append Modifier 52 (reduced services) to 30468 since the procedure was performed unilaterally, and CPT code 30468 is a bilateral procedure. 

*This response is based on the best information available as of 3/28/24.
