Pancreatic surgery
About 48145: Distal pancreatectomy with pancreaticojejunostomy
Reports distal subtotal removal of the pancreas with reconstruction of the remaining pancreatic tissue to the jejunum, with or without splenectomy.
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.

48145 billing questions
How is 48145 distinguished from 48140?
48145 includes a pancreaticojejunostomy after distal subtotal pancreatectomy. Use 48140 when the documented distal resection does not include that reconstruction.
Does 48145 include splenectomy?
The service allows for distal pancreatectomy with or without splenectomy. The operative report should state whether the spleen was removed.
What documentation supports reporting 48145?
Document the extent of pancreatic resection and the pancreaticojejunostomy connecting the pancreatic remnant to the jejunum. Record splenectomy separately in the operative details when performed.
How does the 90-day global period affect postoperative care?
The day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care are included in the global surgical service.
Can an assistant or co-surgeon be reported?
An assistant at surgery may be paid. Co-surgeon payment requires supporting documentation; team surgery is not permitted.
How are other same-session procedures paid?
For multiple procedures performed in the same session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and the others are subject to the standard 50% reduction.
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.
