Otolaryngology

About 30210: Nasal sinus irrigation or lavage

Reports nasal or sinus irrigation or lavage to clear secretions and material from the passages during treatment of a sinus condition.

This service covers therapeutic irrigation or lavage of the nasal or sinus passages, commonly to clear retained secretions or other material during treatment of sinus symptoms. Otolaryngologists and other clinicians who manage nasal and sinus conditions may perform it in an office or facility. The method matters: direct lavage through cannulation of a named sinus is described by separate site-specific codes rather than this general therapy code.

Report 30210 for the irrigation or lavage actually performed, with documentation identifying the treated area, technique, and clinical purpose. The service has a 10-day global period, so related postoperative visits during that period are included. When multiple procedures are performed in the same session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and other procedures are subject to the standard 50% multiple-procedure reduction. Modifier 50 is inappropriate. Medicare does not pay an assistant at surgery, and co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted for this service.

For 30210 in Beaumont, the physician’s office rate is $145.04 and the facility-setting rate is $91.24: a difference of $53.80.

30210 billing questions

When should 30210 be used instead of 31000 or 31002?

Use 30210 for nasal or sinus irrigation or lavage. Use 31000 for lavage by cannulation of the maxillary sinus and 31002 for lavage by cannulation of the frontal sinus.

Can modifier 50 be reported for treatment of both sides?

No. Modifier 50 is inappropriate for 30210; the CMS bilateral adjustment does not apply to this service.

Are related postoperative visits separately reportable?

Related postoperative visits during the 10-day global period are included in the procedure.

How does the multiple-procedure rule affect 30210?

When it is performed with other procedures in the same session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and the others are subject to the standard 50% reduction.

What documentation supports reporting 30210?

Document the clinical reason for treatment, the nasal or sinus area treated, and the irrigation or lavage performed. If lavage was performed by cannulation of a named sinus, consider the corresponding site-specific code instead.

Can an assistant or co-surgeon be reported?

Medicare does not pay an assistant at surgery for this service. Co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.
