CPT code 30115, which refers to a "submucous resection of the inferior turbinate," may require a modifier depending on the specific circumstances of the procedure. If the procedure is performed bilaterally or if it is part of a more extensive surgical procedure, modifiers such as -50 (bilateral procedure) or -59 (distinct procedural service) may be appropriate. It's essential to review the documentation and payer guidelines to determine the necessity of a modifier in your specific case. Always ensure accurate coding to reflect the services provided.

CPT Code Modifier 50- Bilateral Procedure: Unless otherwise identified in the listings, bilateral procedures that are performed at the same session, should be identified by adding modifier 50 to the appropriate 5 digit code.
I found that the code 56821 covers both the procedure and the biopsies. This code does not say that there are a limited amount of biopsies that it covers so it has led me to believe that this code does not need a modifier.
