What 21030 covers
This service removes a benign tumor or cyst arising in the maxilla or zygoma by enucleating the lesion and curetting its bony site. Oral and maxillofacial surgeons commonly perform it for an intraosseous lesion identified on dental or facial imaging, with the specimen sent for pathologic examination. The approach and setting depend on the lesion and the patient; the defining work is enucleation and curettage, rather than resection of a malignant tumor or removal of a superficial facial mass.
Report the code when the operative record identifies a benign maxillary or zygomatic tumor or cyst and documents enucleation with curettage. A 90-day global period includes the day-before preoperative visit and related postoperative care during the 90 days after surgery. When multiple procedures are performed in the same session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and the others at 50%. For bilateral reporting with modifier 50, CMS pays at 150%. Assistant-at-surgery payment is restricted; co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.
This summary was written with AI assistance from CMS physician fee schedule data and checked against the CMS billing rules shown here. Rates on this page come directly from CMS files.

21030 billing questions
How does this differ from code 21034?
Code 21030 is for enucleation and curettage of a benign maxillary or zygomatic tumor or cyst. Code 21034 is for excision of a malignant tumor in those bones.
When would code 21026 be a better fit?
Code 21026 describes excision of facial bone or bones. Use 21030 when the documented service is enucleation and curettage of a benign tumor or cyst specifically involving the maxilla or zygoma.
Is the related postoperative care included?
Yes. The 90-day global period includes the day-before preoperative visit and related postoperative care during the 90 days after surgery.
How are other procedures in the same session paid?
Under the standard multiple procedure reduction, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and other procedures are paid at 50% when performed in the same session.
Can an assistant surgeon or co-surgeon be billed?
CMS lists a statutory restriction on assistant-at-surgery payment for this code. Co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.
What should the operative documentation establish?
Document the maxillary or zygomatic site, the benign tumor or cyst, and the enucleation and curettage performed. The record should distinguish this work from malignant tumor excision or a different bone-removal procedure.
Where these rates come from
FeeBase calculates base physician payments from CMS work, practice-expense and malpractice RVUs, adjusted by each locality’s geographic indexes and the conversion factor. Services without a published rate are labeled, never given a made-up amount. Amounts are Medicare allowed amounts before claim adjustments: not a patient’s bill or a commercial rate.
