What 45382 covers

A gastroenterologist or other qualified endoscopist uses a colonoscope to locate and treat a bleeding source in the colon. Hemostasis may involve a clip, thermal treatment, or injection, depending on the source and clinical circumstances. Examples include active bleeding from angiodysplasia or a diverticulum, and bleeding at a prior polypectomy site. The service is commonly performed in a hospital outpatient department or ambulatory surgery center.

Select this code when the colonoscopy includes treatment to control bleeding, not merely inspection or routine hemostasis integral to another intervention. The procedure report should identify the bleeding site, findings, treatment method, and response. The code has a 0-day global period, so same-day preoperative and postoperative care is included. When related endoscopies are performed together, CMS endoscopy family pricing applies. Modifier 50 is inappropriate; assistant-at-surgery payment is statutorily restricted, 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.

45382 billing questions

When should this code be selected instead of diagnostic colonoscopy?

Use it when the endoscopist performs treatment to control bleeding during the colonoscopy. A diagnostic examination without endoscopic bleeding treatment is reported with 45378.

Can diagnostic colonoscopy be reported separately on the same claim?

The examination is part of the therapeutic colonoscopy, so do not separately report 45378 for the same procedure.

Is this code appropriate for routine hemostasis during polyp removal?

Do not use it for hemostasis that is integral to another intervention, such as routine control of bleeding during lesion removal. Document a separately performed service to control a bleeding source.

How does CMS price this with another endoscopy performed in the same session?

CMS endoscopy family pricing applies when related endoscopies are performed together. The claim should identify the procedures actually performed; CMS applies the family pricing methodology.

Can modifier 50 or an assistant-at-surgery modifier be used?

Modifier 50 is inappropriate for this code. CMS statutorily restricts assistant-at-surgery payment, and co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.

What documentation supports reporting bleeding control?

Document the bleeding source or site, the endoscopic treatment used, and the result. Findings alone, without treatment to control bleeding, do not support this therapeutic service.

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.
