endoscopic nasopharyngeal biopsy with endoscopic maxillary antrostomy and adenoidectomy.​

  • Hello
Endoscopic nasopharyngeal biopsy with endoscopic maxillary antrostomy. So with no tissue removed from Maxillary sinuses, I find 31256. 42831 for adenoidectomy.
What would the remaining code be for endoscopic nasopharyngeal bx? (no visible lesions)
thank you
 
"A biopsy performed in conjunction with a more extensive nasal/sinus procedure is not separately reportable Revision Date (Medicare): 1/1/2020 V-5 unless the biopsy is examined pathologically prior to the more extensive procedure and the decision to proceed with the more extensive procedure is based on the result of the pathologic examination."
