Intestinal surgery
About 44680: Surgical revision of intestine
Reports operative revision of intestinal anatomy, such as correction of blind-loop anatomy after prior surgery, rather than routine repair or stoma closure.
A surgeon uses this service to revise previously altered intestinal anatomy, including a blind-loop configuration after earlier intestinal surgery. The work may involve changing an intestinal connection or bypass to address the problem created by the prior anatomy. It is generally performed in an operating room, often in a hospital or other facility setting. The operative report should identify the prior reconstruction, the clinical problem prompting revision, the bowel segments and connections addressed, and the corrective work performed.
Select this code for the revision itself, not simply because bowel is resected or an anastomosis is created during another operation. Distinguish it from a focused stricturoplasty or closure of an enterostomy by the documented operative objective. The service has a 90-day global period, including the day-before preoperative visit and related postoperative care for 90 days. 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 50% multiple-procedure reduction. Modifier 50 is inappropriate. Assistant-at-surgery payment may be available; co-surgeon payment requires supporting documentation, and team surgery is not permitted.

44680 billing questions
How does 44680 differ from small-intestine resection code 44120?
Use 44680 when the operative objective is revision of previously altered intestinal anatomy. Use 44120 when the documented service is a small-intestine resection with anastomosis, rather than a broader intestinal revision.
Is 44680 the right code for a focal intestinal stricture?
Not when the documented operation is a stricturoplasty to widen a narrowed segment; compare 44615. Choose based on the actual corrective procedure, not just the diagnosis.
Can bowel resection or anastomosis work be reported separately?
Do not automatically add separate codes for resection or anastomosis work that is part of the intestinal revision. The operative report must support any distinct, separately reportable service.
Does 44680 have a 90-day global period?
Yes. The global period includes the day-before preoperative visit and related postoperative care for 90 days.
Can modifier 50 be used for this intestinal revision?
No. The descriptor and anatomy make bilateral reporting with modifier 50 inappropriate.
When are assistant or co-surgeon claims supported?
Assistant-at-surgery payment may be available. Co-surgeon payment requires supporting documentation; team surgery is not permitted.
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.
