Clinical & Coding Specifications
Clinical Context
A representative scenario involves an adult patient seen in an outpatient otolaryngology or plastic surgery clinic for evaluation of nasal valve collapse and chronic nasal obstruction unresponsive to medical therapy. The clinician documents a focused history of nasal obstruction, nighttime mouth breathing, and exercise intolerance. Physical exam demonstrates internal or external nasal valve compromise. Pre-procedure counseling and shared decision-making are documented, including risks, benefits, and alternatives. The visit may include diagnostic nasal endoscopy and photographic documentation. If the patient proceeds, the procedure is performed in an ambulatory surgery center or office-based procedure suite under local anesthesia with or without sedation. Post-procedure, the patient receives discharge instructions, short-interval follow-up for dressing/splint removal, and documentation of anticipated functional improvement.
