What 30430 covers
Code 30430 represents a limited secondary rhinoplasty after prior nasal surgery. A canonical example is a small, focused correction of nasal-tip contour; the code level follows the overall scope, not simply the number of prior procedures. Plastic surgeons and otolaryngologists commonly perform revision rhinoplasty in an operating room to address residual contour or structural concerns. The operative report should distinguish a limited correction from intermediate or major revision work; a tip-related task alone does not establish the level.
For Medicare, payment is restricted to specific circumstances, so document the prior procedure, indication, findings, and corrective work supporting coverage. The 90-day global period includes the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care. With multiple procedures in one session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and each other procedure is subject to the standard multiple-procedure reduction. Modifier 50 is inappropriate. An assistant at surgery may be paid; co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.
