Wiki coding 30901

[ritah]

for control of epistaxis is medication w/lidocaine and afrin acceptable to code 30901

 

[ardithch]

The code states control of nasal hemorrhage with limited cautery and/or packing. As long as there was packing included, I think you can bill that code. Sometimes you can bill for the medication if it's injected so check on that. Otherwise, it would just be an E/M code.

Hope this helps!
