Removal of an Enlarged Turbinate in the Nose

Delaware rates for HCPCS 30130

Removes part or all of an inferior turbinate, one of the shelves of tissue running along the side wall inside the nose that warms and moistens the air you breathe. When a turbinate stays swollen it narrows the airway and leaves the nose persistently blocked despite sprays and allergy treatment. The work is done through the nostril, so there are no cuts on the face.
