What 44382 covers
A gastroenterologist or other qualified endoscopist advances an endoscope through an ileostomy or other intestinal stoma to examine the ileum and obtain tissue samples. The service is used to investigate abnormalities such as suspected inflammation, ulceration, or other mucosal disease in the portion of bowel reached through the stoma. It is distinct from examining an ileal pouch or reaching the small bowel by an oral enteroscopy route.
Report this code when the endoscopy is performed through the stoma and includes one or more biopsies. The procedure note should identify the route, the bowel examined, and the tissue sampling performed. CMS 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 anatomy. Medicare does not pay an assistant at surgery for this service; co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.

44382 billing questions
How does this differ from 44380?
44380 describes diagnostic ileoscopy through a stoma without biopsy. Report 44382 when the endoscopist obtains one or more ileal tissue samples during the examination.
Can the biopsy be reported separately from the endoscopy?
The biopsy is part of this endoscopic service; do not separately report another endoscopy code just for obtaining the samples. The pathology examination of submitted tissue is a separate laboratory service when performed.
Does modifier 50 apply when examining bowel through a stoma?
No. CMS identifies bilateral adjustment as inappropriate for this code because of its descriptor or anatomy.
What if another related endoscopy is performed in the same session?
CMS endoscopy family pricing applies when related endoscopies are performed together. The procedure documentation should support each service and its distinct findings or work.
Can an assistant surgeon or co-surgeon be billed?
Medicare does not pay an assistant at surgery for this service, and co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.
Where these rates come from
FeeBase calculates base physician payments from CMS work, practice-expense and malpractice RVUs, adjusted by each locality’s geographic indexes and the conversion factor. Services without a published rate are labeled, never given a made-up amount. Amounts are Medicare allowed amounts before claim adjustments: not a patient’s bill or a commercial rate.
