Extensive Removal of Nasal Polyps

Colorado rates for HCPCS 30115

Surgical removal of nasal polyps — soft, noncancerous growths inside the nasal passages — when the growths are widespread or numerous enough to require more than a simple, limited removal. The surgeon works through the nostrils to clear the polyps and open the nasal passages, improving breathing and reducing congestion. This is a more thorough approach than a basic polyp removal, addressing polyps throughout the nasal cavity rather than just one or two spots.
