What 48145 covers

This service covers distal subtotal resection of the pancreas, generally involving the body and tail, followed by an anastomosis between the remaining pancreas and the jejunum. The spleen may also be removed. Surgeons perform this operation in a hospital operating room for selected pancreatic disease requiring distal resection and drainage of the pancreatic remnant into the small bowel.

Report 48145 when the operative report supports both the distal subtotal resection and pancreaticojejunostomy; document the resection performed, the reconstruction, and whether the spleen was removed. The service has a 90-day global period, including the day-before preoperative visit and related postoperative care. In a same-session multiple-procedure claim, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and other procedures are subject to the standard 50% reduction. An assistant at surgery may be paid. Co-surgeon payment requires supporting documentation, and team surgery is not permitted.
