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

What 45135 covers

This code describes an abdominal operation to remove tissue involved in rectal prolapse. A colorectal or general surgeon typically performs the procedure in a hospital operating room for a patient whose prolapse is being treated through an abdominal approach. The operative report should make the approach and excision clear, and describe the prolapse and any reconstruction performed. It is distinct from perineal excision, which uses a different operative route.

Choose this code when the documented operation excises the prolapsed rectum through an abdominal approach; do not select it solely because the surgeon treats prolapse. The code has a 90-day global period, including the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care. When multiple procedures occur in one session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and other procedures are subject to the standard 50% reduction. Modifier 50 is inappropriate. An assistant at surgery may be paid; co-surgeon payment requires supporting documentation, and team surgery is not permitted.
