Nasal Septal Button Placement

Washington, DC rates for HCPCS 30220

This procedure places a small, button-shaped device into a hole in the wall that separates the two sides of the nose, known as the nasal septum. The device plugs the opening from both sides, which helps stop whistling sounds, crusting, nosebleeds, and airflow problems caused by the hole. It is typically used when the hole is too large or the tissue too fragile for a surgical repair to close it directly.
