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

What 47541 covers

An interventional radiologist or other qualified physician creates a percutaneous route through the biliary tree and across into the small bowel. The service is used when access across the biliary pathway is needed for an intervention, rather than placement of a biliary drainage catheter or stent. Imaging guidance and associated radiological supervision and interpretation are included, as is diagnostic cholangiography when performed.

Report the code when documentation supports percutaneous access traversing the biliary tree into the small bowel. Record the route, access achieved, imaging guidance, and any cholangiography performed. The 0-day global period includes same-day preoperative and postoperative care. When multiple procedures are performed in the same session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and other procedures are subject to the standard 50% reduction. Bilateral adjustment is inappropriate for this anatomy and service. Medicare does not pay an assistant at surgery, and co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted for this code.
