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

What 47555 covers

A physician passes an endoscope through a percutaneous tract into the biliary tree and removes foreign material. This may be performed by an interventional radiologist when an object or device fragment remains in the ducts after prior biliary access or treatment. The service is distinct from routine exchange or removal of a biliary drainage catheter and from endoscopic extraction of duct stones, which have separate codes.

Report the service when the procedure documentation supports endoscopic access and removal of foreign material; identify the access route and the material removed. The 0-day global period includes same-day preoperative and postoperative care. When related endoscopies are performed together, CMS applies endoscopy-family pricing. Modifier 50 is inappropriate for this service. CMS does not pay for an assistant at surgery, co-surgeons, or team surgery for this code.

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.
