Medicare allowed amount for participating (non-QP) physicians, before deductible, coinsurance and claim adjustments. Not a patient’s bill or a hospital charge.

What 30125 covers

This code describes extensive removal of a dermoid cyst of the nose involving deeper structures such as cartilage or bone. It is generally performed by an otolaryngologist or facial plastic surgeon in an operating-room setting. The operative report should identify the nasal lesion, describe the extent of dissection and tissues removed, and support why the excision was extensive rather than a limited removal. It is distinct from procedures directed at intranasal polyps or lesions.

Report the code for the extensive excision, not a biopsy or a more limited nasal cyst excision. The day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care are included in its 90-day global period. When other procedures are performed in the same session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and other procedures are subject to the standard 50% multiple-procedure reduction. Modifier 50 is inappropriate for this code. An assistant at surgery may be paid; co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.
