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

What 30930 covers

An inferior turbinate outfracture repositions the turbinate laterally to enlarge the nasal airway while leaving the turbinate in place. Otolaryngologists typically perform it for nasal obstruction associated with enlarged inferior turbinates, in an office procedure setting or an operating room. It is a structural airway procedure, not treatment for an active nosebleed.

Document the obstruction, the inferior turbinate treated, the therapeutic intent, and the procedure performed. The code is priced as bilateral, so modifier 50 does not increase payment. Medicare assigns a 10-day global period, including related postoperative visits during that period. When multiple procedures are performed in the same session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and the others are subject to the standard 50% reduction. Medicare does not pay an assistant at surgery for this code; co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.
