A : Unfortunately, no. There is only one endoscopic sinus code that involves procedures on the turbinates: 31240, concha bullosa resection. That code would only be used specifically to treat a concha bullosa, and not appropriate for a regular turbinate hypertrophy.
A : There are three turbinates: inferior, superior and middle. There are parenthetical instructions in CPT following codes 30130, 30140, 30801, 30802 and 30930 that state these codes are only reported for procedures performed in the inferior turbinates.
We see patients who have sinus pain due to concha bullosa - the best we can come up with is G50.1 but we think there may be a better choice. Ideas? Another would be our asymmetrical hearing loss patients - H90.5 cross-references but surely there is a better option?
Unspecified disorder of nose and nasal sinuses The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM J34. 9 became effective on October 1, 2021.
ICD-10 code J34. 89 for Other specified disorders of nose and nasal sinuses is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Diseases of the respiratory system .
Concha bullosa is defined as the presence of air cells in turbinates. It can be best diagnosed with paranasal sinus computed tomography. Concha bullosa is a possible etiologic factor for recurrent sinusitis due to its negative effect on paranasal sinus ventilation and mucociliary clearance.
ICD-10 code: J34. 3 Hypertrophy of nasal turbinates.
9: Fever, unspecified.
ICD-9 Code Transition: 780.79 Code R53. 83 is the diagnosis code used for Other Fatigue. It is a condition marked by drowsiness and an unusual lack of energy and mental alertness. It can be caused by many things, including illness, injury, or drugs.
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.
A concha bullosa (CB) represents the presence of air cell in the turbinates, and the middle turbinate (MT) concha bullosa is a common nasal cavity anatomical variation. Pneumatization of the MT happens due to variation in the ethmoidal air cell system development.
Causes of concha bullosa Some research suggests that it's more likely to happen if you have a deviated septum. This means that the septum isn't completely straight, which can make it harder to breathe through one of your nostrils. A deviated septum can cause other symptoms as well, like loud snoring and sleep apnea.
Turbinate hypertrophy refers to an excessive growth or enlargement of the bony structures located inside of the nose. These structures are covered with a special skin called mucosa and they help filter, warm, and humidify the air as you breath.
Functionally, the most important turbinates are the inferior, or lower, turbinates. They are bilaterally located on either side of the nasal septum and they are made of spongy and curly bones. Mucous membranes (epithelia) cover them and provide initial immunological help to the lymphatic system.
What Is Turbinate Hypertrophy? Turbinate hypertrophy, inferior turbinate hypertrophy, and nasal turbinate hypertrophy are all descriptions of a similar condition where the tissue on the lateral (outside) walls of the nose are too large, causing nasal obstruction.
Vestibular stenosis is an uncommon but debilitating cause of nasal obstruction. It is caused by disruption of the nasal vestibular lining with secondary proliferation of granulation and fibrous tissue. A number of techniques have been described for repair of the stenotic segment.
Background: Septal ulceration is a mucositis involving the mucous membranes of the nasal septum. Patients often complain of nasal irritation, crusting, and epistaxis. Presently, there is no gold standard for the treatment of septal ulcerations.
Most people with nasal valve collapse need plastic surgery to fix it. While this can help your nose's appearance, it's mainly done to reopen your nasal passages so you can breathe again. It's also called nasal valve rhinoplasty or nasal valve repair. You'll have this surgery in the hospital.
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.
These are not the easiest to code. Your best bet would be to code for a hemifacial spasm, G51.3. Cerebellopontine angle spasms are typically due to a tumor in that region. If the spasm is being caused by a tumor, then you would code the appropriate neoplasm code, not the spasm.
There is not an ICD-10 code for sinus pain. You would list this as the secondary diagnosis after concha bullosa. Just keep in mind that you do not code sign/symptoms codes when the sign/symptom is routinely associated with the definitive diagnosis. Example, you would not code vomiting and nausea separately with the definitive diagnosis ...
