Cautery of the Turbinates

Otolaryngology (ENT)
Written By Joba Studio

Question:

What CPT code do we report for cautery of the turbinates?

Answer:

This is based on the documentation CPT code 30801 (ablation, the soft tissue of inferior turbinate’s, unilateral or bilateral, any method [e.g., electrocautery, radiofrequency ablation, or tissue volume reduction]; superficial)

CPT 30802 (ablation, the soft tissue of inferior turbinate’s, unilateral or bilateral, any method [e.g., electrocautery, radiofrequency ablation, or tissue volume reduction]; intramural), are the two CPT codes that support this procedure.

*This response is based on the best information available as of 2/15/24.
