This edit is considered a part of the more extensive listed procedure.
30140 involves removing part or all of the turbinate bone, in which portions of the
turbinate bone are chiseled or broken off with forceps. 30930 is a subset of 30140
to address billing for this inherent fracturing of the turbinate bone. It may be
appropriate to reimburse 30930, however, if review indicates that 30930 was
performed on a separate turbinate and was clinically indicated.

The edited code is a component of the listed code if used to report minor
anesthesia or infusion services provided as part of the listed procedure or
according to surgical package instructions. Similar listed codes with edit disallowed
according to NCCI Misuse of Column 2 code with Column 1 code policy, which
indicates that a provider should not report a CPT code out of the context for which it
was intended. Note, however, that it may be appropriate to reimburse this
procedure if it is performed for indicated purposes separately from the
comprehensive procedure.
