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

What 44377 covers

A gastroenterologist or other qualified endoscopist examines the small bowel beyond the second portion of the duodenum, including the ileum, and obtains one or more tissue samples through the endoscope. The service may help investigate suspected small-bowel inflammation, unexplained anemia, or an abnormality seen on imaging or prior testing. It is commonly performed in a hospital or ambulatory endoscopy setting.

Choose this code when the documented examination reaches the ileum and includes biopsy; the number of samples does not change the code. The report should support the extent of examination and tissue sampling. Medicare assigns a 0-day global period, so same-day preoperative and postoperative care is included. When related endoscopies are performed together, endoscopy family pricing applies. Modifier 50 is inappropriate for this code. Assistant-at-surgery payment requires documented medical necessity; co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.
