What 30130 covers

An otolaryngologist removes part or all of an inferior turbinate, a structure along the side wall of the nasal cavity. The procedure may be performed for turbinate enlargement that contributes to nasal obstruction, in an operating room or another suitable surgical setting. The operative method and extent of tissue removal distinguish excision from techniques that reduce or reposition the turbinate while preserving its structure.

Report 30130 when the documented service is excision of inferior turbinate tissue; record the side and extent removed. For bilateral surgery, modifier 50 is paid at 150%. When multiple procedures are performed in the same session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and other procedures are subject to the standard 50% reduction. The 90-day global period includes the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care. CMS does not pay an assistant at surgery; co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.
