Frontal Sinus Balloon Dilation

Connecticut rates for HCPCS 31296

This procedure widens the drainage opening of the frontal sinus, located above the eyebrows, using a small balloon that is inflated briefly to stretch the passage and then removed. It is performed through the nostril with an endoscope, without any external cuts. It is used to relieve chronic blockage or poor drainage of this sinus, often as part of treatment for ongoing sinus symptoms.
