What 30901 covers

30901 describes treatment to stop bleeding from the front portion of the nose using limited cautery, packing, or another method. Emergency physicians and otolaryngologists commonly perform it in emergency departments, outpatient clinics, and offices when an anterior bleeding site is treated. The record should identify the anterior source and document the treatment method and its extent so the service can be distinguished from more extensive anterior treatment or posterior control.

Medicare assigns a 0-day global period, so same-day preoperative and postoperative care is included. When both sides are treated and the service is reported bilaterally with modifier 50, payment is 150%. If other procedures are performed in the same session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and the others are subject to the standard multiple procedure reduction. Medicare does not pay an assistant at surgery for this service; co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.

This summary was written with AI assistance from CMS physician fee schedule data and checked against the CMS billing rules shown here. Rates on this page come directly from CMS files.

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.
