Gastroenterology
About 43262: ERCP with biliary or pancreatic sphincterotomy
Reports ERCP in which the endoscopist makes a sphincter incision, commonly to improve duct drainage or enable treatment of biliary stones.
During ERCP, a gastroenterologist advances an endoscope to the major papilla and uses an endoscopic cutting instrument to incise the biliary or pancreatic sphincter. The opening can facilitate duct drainage or allow treatment such as removing common bile duct stones. This service is generally performed in a hospital or ambulatory endoscopy setting when imaging or other evaluation indicates a need for therapeutic duct access, including biliary obstruction or choledocholithiasis.
Report this code when the procedure record supports that a sphincterotomy or papillotomy was actually performed, not merely planned or considered. Document the indication, the site of the incision, and the therapeutic work completed. The code has a 0-day global period, so same-day preoperative and postoperative care is included. When related endoscopies are performed together, CMS endoscopy family pricing applies. Modifier 50 is inappropriate; an assistant at surgery is not paid under the statutory restriction, and co-surgeon and team-surgery payment are not permitted.

43262 billing questions
How does this differ from 43260?
Use 43262 when the ERCP includes a sphincterotomy or papillotomy. Code 43260 describes an ERCP with specimen collection rather than this sphincter incision.
Can duct stone removal be reported with this code?
Code 43264 describes duct calculus removal and may be reported for that work when both procedures are performed. The operative report should make the sphincterotomy and stone-removal services clear.
What documentation supports reporting 43262?
The ERCP report should identify the clinical indication and document that the endoscopist performed an incision of the biliary or pancreatic sphincter.
Should modifier 50 be appended?
No. CMS identifies bilateral adjustment as inapplicable to this code, so modifier 50 is inappropriate.
Is same-day postoperative care separately included?
No. The 0-day global period includes same-day preoperative and postoperative care.
Where these rates come from
FeeBase calculates base physician payments from CMS work, practice-expense, and malpractice RVUs, adjusted by each locality’s geographic indices and the applicable conversion factor. Unavailable or separately priced services are labeled rather than assigned a made-up amount.
