Diagnosis code for a septoplasty
We are an ENT practice in Pittsburgh, PA. One of our major payers is denying a septoplasty charge (CPT® 30520) for a deviated nasal septum (470). Can anyone tell me if there is another diagnosis code I could use? I don't have a problem with any other payer, just this one.
Thanks.
