CPT 31231 Nasal endoscopy, diagnostic, unilateral or bilateral (separate procedure), is the base code for this family of endoscopic surgeries. This base code is considered integral to the other endoscopic sinus surgeries.
Endoscopic septoplasty is a newer technique where an endoscope is used to visualize the nasal cavity to straighten the nasal septum. Most people's septum will be deviated to one side or the other, which is not a cause for concern.

No. CPT 31231 is a diagnostic procedure and includes the parenthetical statement “separate procedure.” That means 31231 is included in a more definitive therapeutic/treatment procedure at the same operative session. Report either CPT code 31231 or 30901 (or 30903 or 30905), but not both codes.
CPT® Code 31622 in section: Bronchoscopy, rigid or flexible, including fluoroscopic guidance, when performed.
In addition, work in the maxillary sinus is not included in any of these new combination codes so 31256 or 31267 may be reported in combination with 31253, 31257, or 31259 without issue.
During a septoplasty, the Ear, Nose, and Throat (ENT) surgeon straightens the septum so that air can flow through both sides of the nose normally. In a turbinoplasty, the goal is to reduce the turbinates enough to improve the breathing and sinus drainage, while preserving enough tissue for normal turbinate function.
Answer: There is not a separate code for an endoscopic septoplasty nor is there an add-on code for the endoscope. You'll use 30520, the usual septoplasty code.
Repairing or straightening a deviated septum and reducing enlarged turbinates is a common nasal surgery done under general anesthesia. A small incision is made inside the nose and the thin plate of cartilage and bone in the center of the nose is repaired.
