What 44384 covers
A gastroenterologist or surgeon passes an endoscope through an ileostomy or another small-bowel stoma to reach and dilate a narrowed passage. The treatment may use a balloon, guide wire, or bougie to open a stenosis that can be accessed through the stoma. The service is generally performed in a facility endoscopy setting.
Report this code when the ileoscopy includes dilation, rather than for inspection alone, biopsy, foreign-body removal, or bleeding control. The procedure note should identify the route through the stoma, the narrowed site, and the dilation 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, and co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.
This summary was written with AI assistance from CMS physician fee schedule data and checked against the CMS billing rules shown here. Rates on this page come directly from CMS files.

44384 billing questions
When should this code be chosen over diagnostic ileoscopy?
Use this code when the ileoscopy includes dilation of a narrowed passage. Inspection through the stoma without dilation is reported with the diagnostic ileoscopy code.
How does this differ from ileoscopy with biopsy?
This code represents dilation, while the biopsy code represents tissue sampling. The procedure note should support the service actually performed.
Does same-day care have a separate global-period payment?
No. CMS assigns a 0-day global period, which includes same-day preoperative and postoperative care.
Should modifier 50 be appended for bilateral dilation?
No. Modifier 50 is inappropriate for this service because the descriptor or anatomy makes a bilateral adjustment inappropriate.
Can an assistant surgeon or co-surgeon be billed?
Medicare does not pay an assistant at surgery for this service. 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.
