Need some help please. I am new to ENT coding and came across this procedure. I was looking at 30580 but it seems more work was done. Take a look at the attachment...

I would code it 40899 ( Unlisted procedure, vestibule of mouth) and equate it to 42260 (Repair of nasolabial fistula). And he did a diagnostic endoscopy and controlled bleeding in the nose, You cannot bill 30903 and 31231. Only 30903 would be billed.
