Is it appropriate to bill cpt code 21385 and cpt code 31256 together.
The physician perform 21385 as the approach to get to the sinuses. Or
are these 2 codes bundled? Thanks
 
Not sure what you're asking. There aren't any edits for the 21385 and 31256. But you'd use the 21385 if the surgeon repaired a blowout fracture of the orbital floor; it wouldn't be a code to use to 'gain an approach to the sinuses' .. but maybe that's not what you're asking? Can you post a scrubbed op note? If you're looking for codes for a Caldwell Luc open maxillary sinusotomy, have you looked at 31030 and 31032?
