Wiki bilateral inferior turbinate outfracturing

[Jamie Dezenzo]

Hello,

I have an denial stating 30930 is concerned bilateral and should be billed once due to the verbage of the code. I show AMA showing this a unilateral code per CPT ASST July 2001. Any thoughts or info from CMS?

Thanks!

Jamie

I am showing MUE Edit as only billable once per day. The description states Fracture nasal inferior turbinate(s), therapeutic

Jwindsor17 is correct, this is a unilateral/bilateral procedure and can only be billed once. Modifer 50 is not an acceptable modifier for this procedure.
