What 30906 covers

This code describes subsequent control of a posterior nosebleed using posterior nasal packing and/or cautery. It may be performed by an otolaryngologist or an emergency physician when posterior bleeding continues or recurs after initial control, including in an emergency department or hospital setting. The service is distinct from treating an anterior bleeding site with limited or extensive cautery or packing.

Select the subsequent-treatment level when the clinician again controls posterior bleeding, rather than for the initial posterior control reported with 30905. Document the posterior source, the reason repeat control was needed, and the method used. 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. The code is priced as bilateral, so modifier 50 does not increase payment. Medicare does not pay an assistant at surgery for this code; 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.

30906 billing questions

When should 30906 be reported instead of 30905?

Use 30906 for subsequent control of posterior bleeding with posterior packing and/or cautery. Use 30905 for the initial posterior control.

Can 30906 be used for an anterior nosebleed?

No. It is for subsequent posterior hemorrhage control. Anterior bleeding is coded according to its own treatment and complexity, such as 30901 or 30903.

Should modifier 50 be appended when both sides are treated?

The code is already priced as bilateral, and modifier 50 does not increase payment.

Is same-day care included in the procedure payment?

Yes. The 0-day global period includes same-day preoperative and postoperative care.

What documentation supports 30906?

Record that the bleeding source was posterior, why repeat control was required, and whether posterior packing, cautery, or both were used.

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.
