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

What 45392 covers

A gastroenterologist advances a colonoscope and uses endoscopic ultrasound to identify a target in or near the colorectal wall, then guides a needle through the endoscope to obtain a sample. Typical targets include subepithelial lesions or nearby structures such as perirectal lymph nodes. The service may be performed in a hospital or ambulatory endoscopy center, with the needle specimen sent for pathology or cytology review.

Report this code when the colonoscopic EUS examination includes ultrasound-guided intramural or transmural fine needle aspiration or biopsy; documentation should identify the target, ultrasound guidance, needle sampling, and specimen obtained. It is distinct from EUS without needle sampling and from forceps biopsy of the mucosal surface. The service has a 0-day global period, so same-day preoperative and postoperative care is included. When related endoscopies are performed together, endoscopy-family pricing governs payment. Modifier 50 is inappropriate for this service. Medicare does not pay an assistant at surgery under the statutory restriction; co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.
