What 47383 covers

An interventional radiologist or other qualified proceduralist uses percutaneously placed probes to freeze liver tumor tissue. The approach is through the skin rather than laparoscopic or open surgery. The service is performed in a procedural or operating-room setting, commonly with imaging used to guide access and probe placement. The procedural report should identify the target and describe the percutaneous cryoablation performed.

Select this code for cryoablation of liver tumor(s) by the percutaneous route; the ablation method and approach distinguish it from radiofrequency, laparoscopic, open, and irreversible electroporation procedures. Related postoperative visits during the 10-day global 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% multiple-procedure reduction. CMS treats this as a unilateral service for payment, so modifier 50 is inappropriate. Assistant-at-surgery payment is restricted, 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.

47383 billing questions

How is this code distinguished from 47382?

Both describe percutaneous liver tumor ablation, but 47383 is for cryoablation and 47382 is for radiofrequency ablation. The documented ablation method determines the code.

When is 47371 used instead?

47371 describes laparoscopic liver tumor cryoablation. Use 47383 when the probes are placed percutaneously rather than through a laparoscopic approach.

Are related postoperative visits separately reported?

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

Can modifier 50 be reported for treatment on both sides of the liver?

No. CMS treats this as a unilateral service for payment, and modifier 50 is inappropriate.

Can an assistant or co-surgeon be billed for this procedure?

Assistant-at-surgery payment is restricted for this code. Co-surgeon and team-surgery billing are not permitted.

What happens if another procedure is performed in the same session?

The highest-valued procedure is paid in full, and other procedures in the 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.
