Medicare allowed amount for participating (non-QP) physicians, before deductible, coinsurance and claim adjustments. Not a patient’s bill or a hospital charge.

What 44360 covers

This service is a diagnostic endoscopic examination of the small bowel beyond the second portion of the duodenum, without entering the ileum. A gastroenterologist typically performs it in an endoscopy suite or hospital setting to evaluate concerns such as suspected small-bowel bleeding or abnormal findings on prior testing. The code includes specimen collection by brushing or washing when performed; it does not describe tissue sampling by biopsy.

Report this code when the documented examination is diagnostic and does not include a separately specified intervention such as biopsy, lesion removal, or bleeding control. The procedure note should identify the extent reached, findings, and any brushing or washing. CMS assigns a 0-day global period, so same-day preoperative and postoperative care is included. When multiple procedures in the same session qualify for the standard reduction, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and the others at 50%. Modifier 50 is inappropriate for this single-route anatomy. CMS does not pay an assistant at surgery and does not permit co-surgeon or team-surgery reporting for this service.
