What 45317 covers
A clinician advances a rigid proctosigmoidoscope through the anus to examine the rectum and distal sigmoid and treat a bleeding site. A gastroenterologist or colorectal surgeon may perform the service in an office, outpatient endoscopy unit, or hospital setting. Hemostasis may use an endoscopic technique such as cautery, injection, or another method suited to the bleeding source.
Report this code when the rigid examination includes active treatment to control bleeding, rather than a diagnostic examination alone. The procedure note should identify the bleeding site, the intervention used, and the result. 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. Bilateral adjustment is inappropriate; assistant-at-surgery payment is statutorily restricted, and co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.

45317 billing questions
How is this different from diagnostic proctosigmoidoscopy?
45317 includes endoscopic treatment to control bleeding. Use the diagnostic code when the rigid examination is performed without bleeding-control treatment.
How does this differ from 45334?
Both address endoscopic control of bleeding, but 45317 is for rigid proctosigmoidoscopy and 45334 is for flexible sigmoidoscopy. Choose according to the instrument and examination documented.
Can the diagnostic examination be billed separately?
The diagnostic examination that leads to bleeding-control treatment is part of the therapeutic endoscopy. Document the treatment performed and the bleeding site.
Should modifier 50 be appended?
No. The anatomy and service make bilateral adjustment inappropriate.
What happens when another related endoscopy is performed in the same session?
CMS endoscopy family pricing applies when related endoscopies are performed together. Document each procedure and its distinct clinical purpose.
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.
