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

What 30469 covers

This procedure addresses nasal obstruction caused by collapse of the nasal valve, the narrow passage near the nostril that can narrow during breathing. An otolaryngologist or other qualified nasal surgeon commonly uses a controlled energy device to remodel tissue beneath the nasal lining and support the valve. It is often performed as a minimally invasive treatment, including in an office setting. Unlike an implant-based repair, the approach remodels tissue rather than placing an implant.

Report 30469 for the bilateral remodeling service; the CMS fee schedule prices the code as bilateral, and modifier 50 does not increase payment. Documentation should connect the patient’s obstruction to nasal valve collapse and identify the treated areas and remodeling technique. The 0-day global period includes same-day preoperative and postoperative care. When multiple procedures occur in the same session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and other procedures are subject to the standard multiple-procedure reduction. Assistant-at-surgery payment is restricted; co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.
