What 47384 covers

An interventional radiologist or surgeon places electrodes through the skin into a liver tumor and delivers electrical pulses to destroy the targeted tissue. The service is used for one or more liver tumors treated percutaneously, commonly in a hospital interventional radiology or procedural suite. Imaging used to guide the treatment is included when performed, rather than separately represented as part of this code.

Documentation should identify the liver target, the percutaneous approach, use of irreversible electroporation, and the treatment performed. The code has a 0-day global period, so same-day preoperative and postoperative care is 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. Modifier 50 is inappropriate. Medicare does not pay an assistant at surgery for this service, and co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.
