About 47370: Laparoscopic radiofrequency liver tumor ablation
Reports laparoscopic destruction of one or more liver tumors using radiofrequency energy, when the surgeon treats the lesions through a minimally invasive operative approach.
The surgeon places laparoscopic instruments through small abdominal incisions and uses a radiofrequency probe to destroy one or more liver tumors. This approach may be used for primary liver tumors or metastases when the treatment plan calls for laparoscopic access rather than an open operation or a percutaneous procedure. The service is generally performed by a surgeon in a hospital operating room.
Report this code for the laparoscopic radiofrequency technique, not for open or percutaneous ablation or laparoscopic cryosurgery. The code covers treatment of one or more tumors; document the lesions treated, the laparoscopic approach, and the energy modality. It has a 90-day global period, including the day-before preoperative visit and related postoperative care. When multiple procedures occur in the same session, 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. Modifier 50 is inappropriate for this procedure.

47370 billing questions
How is this code distinguished from laparoscopic cryoablation?
This code is for radiofrequency energy. Use the laparoscopic cryosurgery code, 47371, when the surgeon uses cryoablation instead.
Is the code reported separately for each tumor?
No. It covers ablation of one or more liver tumors; document the treated lesions, but do not report separate units for each tumor.
When should an open or percutaneous ablation code be used instead?
Choose the code that matches the access route and modality: 47380 describes open radiofrequency ablation, while 47382 describes percutaneous radiofrequency ablation.
What documentation supports reporting this code?
Document the laparoscopic approach, radiofrequency technique, and the liver tumor or tumors treated. The record should distinguish this service from open, percutaneous, or cryosurgical ablation.
How does the global period affect postoperative billing?
The 90-day global period includes the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care.
Can an assistant or co-surgeon be paid?
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.
