Otolaryngology surgery
About 30150: Partial surgical removal of the nose
Reports surgery removing part of the external nose, typically when disease requires resection beyond a limited nasal lesion excision.
This operation removes a portion of the external nose, rather than only sampling or excising a focal lesion. Otolaryngologists and head and neck surgeons commonly perform it in a hospital operating room for conditions such as nasal skin cancer when the involved tissue requires wider removal. The operative report should identify the extent and structures removed; reconstruction may be part of the overall treatment plan.
Select this code for partial removal, not complete removal of the nose or a limited lesion excision. Documentation should describe the resection and its medical indication. CMS assigns a 90-day global period, including the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care. When multiple procedures are performed in the same session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and others at 50%. Modifier 50 is inappropriate. Assistant-at-surgery payment is statutorily restricted; co-surgeons are paid only with supporting documentation, and team surgery is not permitted.

30150 billing questions
How does partial removal differ from total removal?
Use 30150 when only part of the external nose is removed. Code 30160 describes removal of the entire nose.
Is this appropriate for a small nasal lesion?
A limited lesion excision is distinct from partial nasal resection. Choose the code that reflects the actual extent of tissue removed, as documented in the operative report.
Does the 90-day global period include postoperative care?
Yes. CMS includes the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care in the global period.
Can modifier 50 be reported?
No. CMS identifies bilateral adjustment as inappropriate for this code.
How are other procedures in the same session paid?
Under the standard multiple procedure reduction, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and other procedures are paid at 50%.
Can an assistant or co-surgeon be reported?
Assistant-at-surgery payment is statutorily restricted. Co-surgeons are paid only with supporting documentation; team surgery is not permitted.
Where these rates come from
FeeBase calculates base physician payments from CMS work, practice-expense, and malpractice RVUs, adjusted by each locality’s geographic indices and the applicable conversion factor. Unavailable or separately priced services are labeled rather than assigned a made-up amount.
