ERCP procedures
About 43264: ERCP duct stone or debris extraction
Report this ERCP therapeutic service when an endoscopist extracts stones or debris from a biliary or pancreatic duct without fragmenting them.
During ERCP, a gastroenterologist or other qualified endoscopist passes a side-viewing endoscope through the mouth to the duodenum, accesses the biliary or pancreatic duct, and retrieves calculi or debris, commonly with a balloon or basket. Typical cases include removing common bile duct stones in a patient with choledocholithiasis or clearing ductal debris. The service is performed in settings such as a hospital or ambulatory surgery center.
Report this code when the documented work includes ductal stone or debris extraction; use the distinct lithotripsy service when calculi are fragmented. The record should identify the treated duct and describe the retrieval performed. CMS assigns a 0-day global period, so same-day preoperative and postoperative care is included. When related endoscopies are performed together, endoscopy family pricing applies. Modifier 50 is inappropriate. Medicare does not pay an assistant at surgery for this service, and co-surgeon and team-surgery billing are not permitted.

43264 billing questions
How does this differ from ERCP lithotripsy?
Use this code for extracting stones or debris without fragmentation. When the endoscopist destroys or fragments calculi, compare the service with 43265.
What documentation supports reporting this service?
Document the biliary or pancreatic duct treated, the presence of calculi or debris, and the extraction performed, such as retrieval with a balloon or basket.
Can modifier 50 be used for stones in two ducts?
No. CMS identifies bilateral adjustment as inappropriate for this code; the anatomy and descriptor do not support modifier 50.
How are related ERCP services priced on the same date?
When related endoscopies are performed together, CMS applies endoscopy family pricing rather than treating each service as an unrelated endoscopy for payment.
Is same-day postoperative care included?
Yes. 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.
