I am trying to come up with the right CPT codes for a repair of nasal vestibular stenosis so we can get it pre-certified. Can you help? Yes, you are wise to determine the correct codes for pre-certification, otherwise the surgery might not be paid if you billed different codes.
ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code A88.1 A disorder characterized by dizziness, imbalance, nausea, and vision problems. Pathological processes of the vestibular labyrinth which contains part of the balancing apparatus. Patients with vestibular diseases show instability and are at risk of frequent falls.
Unspecified disorder of nose and nasal sinuses. J34.9 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes.
I have a doctor that performed a "Placement of bilateral Latera Implants for vestibular stenosis." I see on 4/1/18 a new HCPS code C9749 came into play. But my question is do I need to bill another code with this?

Abstract. Nasal vestibular stenosis is defined as a narrowing of the nasal inlet resulting in airway obstruction. Causes include nasal trauma, infection, and iatrogenic insults. The objectives of this article are to illustrate nasal vestibular stenosis and to analyze common causes and surgical treatments.
Nasal vestibulitis is when there is an infection in your nasal vestibule. Your nasal vestibule is located just inside your nostril or nose opening. It's lined with skin that has thick hairs. The hairs help to stop dust, dirt, and other particles from entering your lungs.
Use code 478.19 (other diseases of the nasal cavity and sinuses). Deviated nasal septum. Use code 470 for septoplasty procedures.
ICD-10-CM Code for Chronic sinusitis, unspecified J32. 9.
A concha bullosa is a pneumatized (air-filled) cavity within a nasal concha, also known as a turbinate. Bullosa refers to the air-filled cavity within the turbinate. It is a normal anatomic variant seen in up to half the population.
Nasal septal perforation is a full-thickness defect of the nasal septum. Bilateral mucoperichondrial leaflets and a structural middle layer comprise the three-layer divider between the right and left nasal cavities. Septal perforation occurs most commonly along the anterior cartilaginous septum.
Background: Septal ulceration is a mucositis involving the mucous membranes of the nasal septum. Patients often complain of nasal irritation, crusting, and epistaxis.
Although the incidence of septal perforation is reported to be around 1%, it is actually much more. Septal perforations may occur due to iatrogenic, trauma, drug use (steroids, cocaine, etc.) and cauterization. The most common cause of septum surgery is secondary to infection.
