What 47382 covers

Percutaneous liver radiofrequency ablation treats one or more liver tumors by placing an electrode through the skin and heating target tissue with radiofrequency energy. Interventional radiologists and other appropriately trained procedural specialists commonly perform it with imaging to guide probe placement, often in a hospital-based procedure suite. Clinical uses include treatment of selected primary liver cancers and metastatic lesions when local tumor destruction is planned.

Report 47382 for the percutaneous radiofrequency approach, whether one or multiple tumors are treated; do not select it for laparoscopic or open access, cryoablation, or irreversible electroporation. The procedure report should identify the treated lesion or lesions, percutaneous access, radiofrequency method, and treatment performed. CMS assigns a 10-day minor-procedure global period, so related postoperative visits during that interval are included. When other procedures are performed in the same session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and other procedures are subject to the standard multiple-procedure reduction. Modifier 50 is inappropriate. Medicare does not pay an assistant at surgery, and co-surgeon and team-surgery billing 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.

47382 billing questions

How is 47382 distinguished from laparoscopic or open ablation?

Use 47382 when the radiofrequency electrode reaches the liver tumor percutaneously. Laparoscopic and open access correspond to different codes, even when the energy method is also radiofrequency.

Can 47382 be reported once for each treated tumor?

The code covers treatment of one or more liver tumors. Do not multiply units solely because multiple tumors are treated.

Is cryoablation reported with 47382?

No. 47382 is for radiofrequency ablation; percutaneous cryoablation is represented by 47383.

Are related postoperative visits separately payable during the global period?

Related postoperative visits during the 10-day global period are included in the procedure payment.

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

Modifier 50 is inappropriate for this code. Medicare does not pay an assistant at surgery for 47382.

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.
