What 46922 covers
Code 46922 represents surgical excision of one or more lesions of the anus. A colorectal surgeon, general surgeon, or other qualified physician may remove the lesion with cutting instruments in an office procedure room or operating room; anesthesia and setting depend on the clinical circumstances. A specimen may be sent for histopathologic examination, which is a separate service from the excision.
Report the excision service, not a separate unit for each lesion removed. Document the anal site, lesion findings, excisional technique, and number treated. CMS assigns a 10-day minor-procedure global period, so related postoperative visits during that period are included. When other procedures are performed in the same session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and the others are subject to the standard 50% reduction. Modifier 50 is inappropriate for this service. Medicare does not pay an assistant at surgery, 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.

46922 billing questions
How is 46922 different from anal lesion destruction codes?
46922 is for surgical excision of the lesion. Destruction codes apply when the lesion is treated by an ablative method rather than cut out.
Should 46922 be reported once for each lesion?
The code covers excision of one or more anal lesions; do not assign a separate unit for each lesion. Document how many lesions were treated.
Are related postoperative visits separately payable during the global period?
Related postoperative visits within the 10-day global period are included in the procedure payment.
Can modifier 50 be used for lesions on both sides?
No. Modifier 50 is inappropriate for this anal procedure.
Can an assistant or co-surgeon be reported for 46922?
Medicare does not pay an assistant at surgery for this service. Co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.
What happens when another procedure is performed in the same session?
The highest-valued procedure is paid in full; other procedures in that session are subject to the standard 50% multiple-procedure reduction.
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.
