About 30200: Injection treatment of nasal tissue
An otolaryngologist injects medication into nasal tissue, commonly a turbinate, to treat a documented nasal condition when injection rather than excision is performed.
This service covers medication injected into nasal tissue to treat a nasal condition. Otolaryngologists commonly perform it in an office or facility, including when treating turbinate swelling with an injection rather than removing or surgically reducing the tissue. The record should identify the treated nasal site, the clinical indication, the injected medication, and the procedure performed.
Report the code for the injection service, not for a nasal treatment delivered by another route or for turbinate tissue removed surgically. CMS assigns a 0-day global period, so same-day preoperative and postoperative care is included. When multiple procedures are performed in one 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 for this service. Medicare does not pay an assistant at surgery, and co-surgeon and team-surgery billing are not permitted.

30200 billing questions
When should this code be chosen instead of turbinate surgery?
Use it when the documented treatment is an injection into nasal tissue. Partial or complete turbinate removal and submucous turbinate resection are different procedures.
Should modifier 50 be used for injections on both sides?
No. Modifier 50 is inappropriate for this service based on its descriptor and anatomy.
What same-day care is included in the global period?
The 0-day global period includes same-day preoperative and postoperative care.
How is this code affected when other procedures are performed in the same session?
The highest-valued procedure is paid in full, and the other procedures are subject to the standard 50% multiple-procedure reduction.
What documentation supports reporting the injection?
Document the nasal site, the condition being treated, the medication injected, and the procedure performed. Assistant-at-surgery payment is restricted, and co-surgeon and team-surgery billing are not permitted.
