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

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.
