no Erika,
your doctor was trying to get himself more money from your insurance by adding partial turbinectomy as an adjacent procedure, because they probably wanted to pay just for the septoplasty, arguing that partial turbinectomy is considered a by product of septoplasty, just like trapped said.
Of course - to you he made it sound like he was saving you money when all that time he was probably trying to get paid twice - once for the septum and once separately again for the turbinates...
