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.

30469 billing questions
How is 30469 different from 30468?
30469 describes tissue remodeling beneath the nasal lining. 30468 is the implant-based nasal valve collapse repair.
Should modifier 50 be appended for bilateral treatment?
No. CMS prices 30469 as bilateral, and modifier 50 does not increase payment.
What documentation supports reporting 30469?
Document nasal valve collapse as the cause of obstruction, the clinical findings, the bilateral treatment areas, and the remodeling technique performed.
Can same-day care be billed separately?
The 0-day global period includes same-day preoperative and postoperative care. Other procedures performed in the same session are subject to the multiple-procedure payment rule.
Can an assistant or co-surgeon be paid for this procedure?
Assistant-at-surgery payment is restricted for 30469. CMS does not permit co-surgeons or team surgery for this code.
Where these rates come from
FeeBase calculates base physician payments from CMS work, practice-expense and malpractice RVUs, adjusted by each locality’s geographic indexes and the conversion factor. Services without a published rate are labeled, never given a made-up amount. Amounts are Medicare allowed amounts before claim adjustments: not a patient’s bill or a commercial rate.
