About 30300: Office-type intranasal foreign-body removal
Report this service for straightforward removal of an object from the nasal passage by direct, office-type extraction rather than an operative approach.
This code fits removal of an accessible object from a nostril by direct office-type extraction, such as a bead or small item lodged in a child’s nasal passage. The clinician may use an instrument or suction to retrieve it through the nostril. It is commonly performed by an otolaryngologist, emergency physician, or other treating clinician in an office or emergency setting when the removal does not require the more extensive approach represented by a sibling code.
Document the object’s location, the removal performed, and the circumstances supporting an office-type extraction. Use a different nasal foreign-body code when removal requires general anesthesia or a lateral rhinotomy approach. Medicare assigns this service a 10-day global period, so related postoperative visits during that period are included. When multiple procedures occur in the same session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and other procedures are subject to the standard 50% reduction. Modifier 50 is inappropriate. Medicare does not pay an assistant at surgery for this service; co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.

30300 billing questions
When should 30310 be used instead?
30310 is the related nasal foreign-body code for removal requiring general anesthesia. Use 30300 for office-type extraction rather than selecting by the object alone.
How does 30320 differ?
30320 describes removal using a lateral rhinotomy approach. It is not the code for a straightforward extraction through the nostril.
Can modifier 50 be appended when both nostrils are treated?
No. CMS identifies bilateral adjustment as inappropriate for 30300; document the treated nostril or nostrils without modifier 50.
Are related postoperative visits separately payable?
Related postoperative visits during the 10-day global period are included in the procedure. The global period applies to care related to the removal.
How are other procedures performed in the same session paid?
The highest-valued procedure is paid in full, and other procedures in the same session are subject to the standard multiple-procedure reduction. An assistant at surgery is not paid; co-surgeons and team surgery are 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.
