File 30901-30903 for Frontal Bleeding Choose the appropriate code based on the hemorrhage-control amount and nosebleed severity. If the physician applies cautery and/or packing to limited nasal frontal areas, submit 30901. For difficult-to-control hemorrhages or multiple bleed areas, assign 30903.

If your doctor put in the nasal packing, they cannot bill for the removal.
The nose packing can be removed approximately two days after this rhinoplasty surgery. This can be performed at home with the help of friends or family. The packing is shaped like a cylinder about the length of one's finger and it has a string on the end to aid in removal.
CPT 31231 is a diagnostic code and may not be separately reported with either 30901/30903 or 31238 for services rendered at the same session due to the codes' “separate procedure” designation by CPT.
31238 can be billed bilaterally, but if your doctor only performed the endoscopic electrocautery on the left side, I would say that you shouldn't apply the 50 modifier. It wouldn't be considered a bilateral surgery since he/she did not perform it on the right side as well.
Nasal packing is a common medical procedure that is performed to control epistaxis (bleeding from the nose). Nasal packing may be “anterior” nasal packing that is done by using a gauze inserted inside the nasal cavity after numbing the nasal area.

Question: When coding the placement of an infusion device such as a peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC line), the code assignment for the body part is based on the site in which the device ended up (end placement). For coding purposes, can imaging reports be used to determine the end placement of the device?
Question: ...venous access port. An incision was made in the anterior chest wall and a subcutaneous pocket was created. The catheter was advanced into the vein, tunneled under the skin and attached to the port, which was anchored in the subcutaneous pocket. The incision was closed in layers.
Question: In Coding Clinic, Fourth Quarter 2013, pages 116- 117, information was published about the device character for the insertion of a totally implantable central venous access device (port-a-cath). Although we agree with the device value, the approach value is inaccurate.
Question: A patient diagnosed with Stage IIIC ovarian cancer underwent placement of an intraperitoneal port-a-catheter during total abdominal hysterectomy. An incision on the costal margin in the midclavicular line on the right side was made, and a pocket was formed. A port was then inserted within the pocket and secured with stitches.
