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.

30110 billing questions

How is 30110 distinguished from 30115?

30110 is for simple nasal polyp removal. Report 30115 when the documented polypectomy is extensive; the operative note should support the level selected.

Can 30110 be reported for a nasal biopsy?

Use 30100 when the service is diagnostic sampling rather than removal of a polyp. The record should show whether tissue was sampled for diagnosis or the polyp was removed.

Which modifier is used when polyps are removed from both sides?

CMS lists 30110 as bilateral, with modifier 50 paid at 150%. Document the work on both sides.

Are related postoperative visits separately reported?

Related postoperative visits during the 10-day global period are included in 30110.

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 in the session are paid at 50%. Medicare does not pay an assistant at surgery for 30110.

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.
