14Applicable procedure codes

Covered and Noncovered Procedures

Nasal valve procedures

Covered as reconstructive and medically necessary when ALL criteria are met.

Nasal valve procedure criteria

Clinical obstruction: Prolonged, persistent, obstructed nasal breathing due to internal and/or external nasal valve compromise
Other causes treated: Other causes of nasal obstruction, including rhinosinusitis, allergic rhinitis, vasomotor rhinitis, nasal polyposis, adenoid hypertrophy, and/or nasopharyngeal masses, have been adequately treated with maximal therapy and nasal obstruction persists
Septal/turbinate status: Nasal septal deviation and turbinate hypertrophy are not present, have been previously surgically treated, or are scheduled to be surgically treated at the same time as the nasal valve procedure as part of the surgery plan
Objective collapse: Visible collapse of the alar lower lateral cartilage and/or lateral nasal wall with deep inspiration is documented
Modified Cottle response: Subjective and audible improvement in nasal airflow occurs during the modified Cottle maneuver
Photographic confirmation: Photos document dynamic collapse or anatomical deformity narrowing the internal and/or external nasal valve as a main cause of mechanical nasal airway obstruction and are consistent with the clinical examination
Surgical characterization and plan: The surgeon states whether compromise is static or dynamic, identifies the internal valve, external valve, or both, and provides a clear surgical plan including the need for a cartilage graft

Rhinoplasty for congenital anomalies

Covered as reconstructive and medically necessary when associated with a qualifying congenital craniofacial anomaly.

Congenital anomaly indications: Nasal deformity associated with a congenital craniofacial anomaly, including Pierre Robin syndrome, Apert syndrome, Fraser syndrome, Binder syndrome, Goldenhar syndrome, nasal dermoids, Tessier nasal cleft, or cleft lip or cleft palate

Primary rhinoplasty

Covered as reconstructive and medically necessary when ALL criteria are met.

Primary rhinoplasty criteria

Qualifying indication: The indication is prolonged, persistent, obstructed nasal breathing due primarily to nasal bone and septal deviation; a nasal fracture with nasal bone displacement severe enough to cause nasal airway obstruction; or a residual large cutaneous defect following resection of a malignancy or nasal trauma
Septoplasty insufficient: The nasal airway obstruction cannot be corrected by septoplasty alone, as documented in the medical record
Photographic and examination evidence: Photos and clinical examination document nasal bone/septal deviation as the primary cause of mechanical nasal airway obstruction
Corrective surgical design:

Revision rhinoplasty

Covered as reconstructive and medically necessary when ALL criteria are met.

Revision rhinoplasty criteria

Photographic and examination evidence: Photos and clinical examination document the secondary deformity or complication as the primary cause of mechanical nasal airway obstruction
Corrective surgical design: The proposed procedure is designed to correct the deformity or treat the complication and relieve the nasal airway obstruction
Significant symptoms: Nasal airway obstruction is causing significant symptoms, such as chronic rhinosinusitis or difficulty breathing
Conservative management failure: Obstructive symptoms persist despite conservative management, including nasal steroids or immunotherapy where appropriate

Tip rhinoplasty

Covered as reconstructive and medically necessary when ALL criteria are met.

Tip rhinoplasty criteria

Photographic and examination evidence: Photos and clinical examination document tip drop as the primary cause of mechanical nasal airway obstruction, including documentation of the acute columellar-labial angle
Corrective surgical design: The proposed procedure is designed to correct the mechanical nasal airway obstruction by lifting the nasal tip
Significant symptoms: Nasal airway obstruction is causing significant symptoms, such as chronic rhinosinusitis or difficulty breathing
Conservative management failure: Obstructive symptoms persist despite conservative management, including nasal steroids or immunotherapy where appropriate

Nasal polypectomy

Coverage criteria are directed to InterQual.

Nasal polypectomy is considered reconstructive and medically necessary in certain circumstances; apply the InterQual CP: Procedures, Polypectomy, Nasal clinical coverage criteria

Unproven and not medically necessary procedures

Not medically necessary due to insufficient evidence of safety and/or efficacy.

Unproven procedures: Absorbable polylactic acid nasal cartilage support implants; posterior nasal nerve or sphenopalatine ganglion ablation by any method, including radiofrequency or cryoablation, for treatment of chronic rhinitis; or radiofrequency treatment of the nasal valves for treatment of nasal airway obstruction

Unproven and not medically necessary nasal procedures

Each of the following procedure categories is considered unproven and not medically necessary due to insufficient evidence of safety and/or efficacy.

Unproven nasal procedures

Absorbable nasal cartilage support implants: Absorbable polylactic acid nasal cartilage support implants, such as the Latera Absorbable Nasal Implant, used to support the nasal upper and lower lateral cartilage
Posterior nasal nerve or sphenopalatine ganglion ablation using any method, such as radiofrequency or cryoablation, including RhinAer or ClariFix, for treatment of chronic rhinitis
Radiofrequency treatment of nasal valves for treatment of nasal airway obstruction, such as the VivAer ARC Stylus

The listed nasal procedures are considered reconstructive and medically necessary only when the applicable qualifying criteria are met. Outside those criteria—including indications that are primarily cosmetic or lack documented functional impairment—the procedures are not considered reconstructive and medically necessary.

Absorbable polylactic acid nasal cartilage support implants, posterior nasal nerve or sphenopalatine ganglion ablation for chronic rhinitis, and radiofrequency treatment of the nasal valves for nasal airway obstruction are considered unproven and not medically necessary because of insufficient evidence of safety and/or efficacy.

Adjunctive procedures involving the nasal septum, nasal valve, turbinates, or paranasal sinuses that are performed without affecting nasal shape or appearance do not meet the policy definition of rhinoplasty and are excluded from consideration under the rhinoplasty guideline.

Absorbable polylactic acid nasal cartilage support implants, including the Latera Absorbable Nasal Implant, used to support the nasal upper or lower lateral cartilage are excluded from coverage as unproven and not medically necessary.

Posterior nasal nerve or sphenopalatine ganglion ablation by any method, including radiofrequency or cryoablation, for treatment of chronic rhinitis is excluded from coverage as unproven and not medically necessary. Examples include RhinAer and ClariFix.

Radiofrequency treatment of the nasal valves for nasal airway obstruction, including the VivAer ARC Stylus, is excluded from coverage as unproven and not medically necessary.

Nasal valve procedures or repair of nasal vestibular stenosis or alar collapse are not medically necessary for indications outside the stated reconstructive criteria. Coverage requires documented functional obstruction and the applicable treatment, examination, photographic, and surgical-plan requirements.

Primary rhinoplasty is not medically necessary for indications outside the qualifying criteria, including specified mechanical obstruction from nasal bone or septal deviation, sufficiently displaced nasal fracture, or a residual large cutaneous defect after malignancy resection or nasal trauma.

Revision rhinoplasty is primarily cosmetic and is not medically necessary unless it treats a complication or residual deformity from primary surgery performed for functional impairment, with persistent documented functional impairment and fulfillment of the applicable obstruction, symptom, examination, treatment-plan, and 4 weeks or greater conservative-management requirements.

Tip rhinoplasty is primarily cosmetic and is not medically necessary unless tip drop is the primary documented cause of mechanical nasal airway obstruction. The procedure must be intended to lift the nasal tip, with supporting examination and photographs, significant symptoms, and persistent symptoms despite conservative management for 4 weeks or greater.

The specified absorbable nasal cartilage support implants, posterior nasal nerve or sphenopalatine ganglion ablation for chronic rhinitis, and radiofrequency nasal valve procedures for nasal airway obstruction are considered unproven and not medically necessary due to insufficient evidence of safety and/or efficacy.

Under the current policy, absorbable polylactic acid nasal cartilage support implants such as Latera, posterior nasal nerve or sphenopalatine ganglion ablation by radiofrequency or cryoablation such as RhinAer or ClariFix, and radiofrequency nasal valve treatment such as VivAer ARC Stylus are excluded as unproven and not medically necessary.

Documentation and Denial Risks

Documentation Required

Nasal Valve Documentation Required

Before requesting coverage for nasal valve repair, document prolonged, persistent obstructed nasal breathing caused by internal and/or external nasal valve compromise. Show that other causes of obstruction have been adequately treated with maximal therapy, address septal deviation and turbinate hypertrophy, and provide examination, maneuver, photographic, and surgical-plan documentation.

Document visible collapse of the alar (lower lateral) cartilage and/or lateral nasal wall with deep inspiration.
Document subjective and audible improvement in airflow during the modified Cottle maneuver.
Include photographs showing dynamic valve collapse or an anatomical deformity narrowing the valve, consistent with the clinical examination.
Specify whether the compromise is static or dynamic and whether it involves the internal nasal valve, external nasal valve, or both.
State the surgical plan clearly, including whether a cartilage graft is needed.
Document that septal deviation and turbinate hypertrophy are absent, were previously treated surgically, or are scheduled for treatment during the same surgery.

Policy Context

The policy distinguishes reconstructive nasal surgery intended to relieve mechanical nasal airway obstruction from procedures performed primarily for cosmetic purposes. Rhinoplasty may alter nasal shape while preserving or enhancing the airway, but coverage is limited to documented functional impairment and specified clinical criteria. Adjunctive septal, nasal valve, turbinate, or sinus procedures that do not affect nasal shape or appearance are not considered rhinoplasty under the guideline.

Note

FDA Clearance Does Not Establish Coverage

FDA approval or clearance alone does not establish coverage under this policy. Coverage depends on the policy's medical-necessity and reconstructive criteria, regardless of a device's regulatory status.

The FDA classifies rhinoplasty and other sinus-surgery devices under broad product code LRC, and some devices may be 510(k) exempt.
The VivAer Stylus received 510(k) clearance in March 2020, but that clearance alone is not a basis for coverage.
