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

What 48152 covers

This code represents a major operation removing the proximal portion of the pancreas along with the duodenum and reconnecting the remaining pancreas to the jejunum. The operation is commonly performed by a surgeon in a hospital operating room for conditions involving the pancreatic head, including selected pancreatic or periampullary tumors. The operative report should identify the resection and reconstruction performed; the code’s scope includes the pancreaticojejunostomy and allows for cholecystectomy as part of the operation.

Select this code when the documented procedure matches this proximal subtotal resection and reconstruction, rather than a distal resection or removal of the entire pancreas. The day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care are included in the 90-day global period. 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 multiple-procedure reduction. Assistant-at-surgery payment may be available; co-surgeon payment requires supporting documentation. Modifier 50 is inappropriate for this operation, and team surgery is not permitted.
