About 30905: Initial posterior nosebleed control

Reports initial control of posterior nasal bleeding when treatment requires posterior packing, cautery, or both, such as during emergency or otolaryngology care.

This service treats a posterior nasal bleed with posterior packing, cautery, or both. It is commonly performed by an emergency physician or otolaryngologist in an emergency department or hospital when bleeding arises from the back of the nasal cavity and needs more than limited anterior treatment. Posterior packs or balloon devices may be used to control bleeding; cautery may be used when the bleeding site can be identified.

Report 30905 for the initial control of a posterior bleed, not for a later repeat-control service. The note should support the posterior source or clinical circumstances, identify the treatment performed, and establish that this was the initial treatment. CMS assigns a 0-day global period, so same-day preoperative and postoperative care is 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. The code is priced as bilateral, so modifier 50 does not increase payment. Assistant-at-surgery payment is restricted; co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.

30905 billing questions

How is 30905 different from 30901 or 30903?

30905 is for initial control of a posterior nasal bleed using posterior packing, cautery, or both. Codes 30901 and 30903 describe anterior control, with 30903 used for more extensive anterior treatment.

When should 30906 be used instead?

Use 30906 for subsequent control of a posterior bleed after the initial treatment. Use 30905 for the initial control service.

Does modifier 50 increase payment for bilateral treatment?

No. CMS prices 30905 as bilateral, and modifier 50 does not increase payment.

What documentation supports 30905?

Document the posterior bleeding source or the clinical basis for posterior treatment, the packing or cautery performed, and whether this was the initial control service.

How does the 0-day global period affect same-day care?

Same-day preoperative and postoperative care is included in the procedure. The 0-day global period does not include care on later dates.

Can an assistant or co-surgeon be reported?

CMS restricts assistant-at-surgery payment for this code and does not permit co-surgeons or team surgery.

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.
