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

What 30410 covers

This code represents primary reconstruction involving the external parts of the nose, with major septal repair included in the service. The surgeon may reshape nasal bones and cartilage to address a structural deformity. The procedure is typically performed in a hospital operating room or ambulatory surgery center by a plastic surgeon or an otolaryngologist with facial plastic surgery expertise. A post-traumatic or congenital nasal deformity may prompt evaluation, but Medicare coverage is restricted to specific circumstances; an appearance-related goal alone does not establish coverage.

Choose 30410 when the documented work matches complete primary external reconstruction, rather than a limited tip procedure or revision of prior rhinoplasty. The record should establish the medical indication and describe the structural work, including any major septal repair. The 90-day global period includes the day-before preoperative visit and related postoperative care for 90 days. For multiple procedures in one session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and others at 50%. Modifier 50 is inappropriate. An assistant at surgery may be paid; co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.
