Epistaxis and Turbinate Reduction Procedures

The Epistaxis/Turbinate Reduction template enables you to document the procedures performed to treat epistaxis and turbinate reduction. The Type of Procedure (Epistaxis) and Turbinate Reduction are the two main sections that you can use independently, if only one of them is performed, or together, if both are performed. While the Otolaryngologists can use both the sections of this template, the Family Physician, Urgent Care Provider, and/or Pediatrician can use the epistaxis section when a simple control of bleeding is performed.

Based on the procedure performed and the usage of scope, the application can include the correct Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) code for submitting to superbill. For example, when you select the ‘Control of anterior nosebleed, simple’ procedure and the ‘In conjunction with control’ usage, the application includes 31238 CPT code for billing, by default.
