What 30110 covers

30110 represents straightforward removal of nasal polyps from the nasal cavity, commonly performed by an otolaryngologist in an office or outpatient surgical setting. The service treats polyp tissue, rather than merely sampling tissue to establish a diagnosis or removing a different type of intranasal lesion. The operative note should identify the polyp removal and describe the site and extent of the work.

Choose this code when the removal is simple; use the extensive polypectomy code when the documented work meets that level. For bilateral work, modifier 50 is paid at 150%. When multiple procedures are performed in the same session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and the others at 50%. The procedure has a 10-day global period, which includes related postoperative visits during that period. Medicare does not pay an assistant at surgery for this service, and 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.

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.
