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

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.
