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

What 45334 covers

A gastroenterologist or colorectal surgeon uses a flexible endoscope to examine the rectum and distal colon and treat a bleeding site, such as a bleeding lesion or a bleeding point seen during evaluation of hematochezia. Hemostasis may be achieved with an endoscopic technique such as injection, thermal treatment, or a clip. The code reflects treatment of bleeding, not visualization alone.

Report it when the procedure note supports endoscopic treatment intended to control bleeding, including the site and method used. A diagnostic examination performed as part of the same treatment session is not a separate service merely because the endoscopist first inspected the area. 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. Medicare does not pay an assistant at surgery for this service; co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.
