Liver procedures
About 47384: Percutaneous liver tumor electroporation ablation
Report this service for percutaneous destruction of one or more liver tumors using irreversible electroporation, with imaging guidance included when performed.
An interventional radiologist or surgeon places electrodes through the skin into a liver tumor and delivers electrical pulses to destroy the targeted tissue. The service is used for one or more liver tumors treated percutaneously, commonly in a hospital interventional radiology or procedural suite. Imaging used to guide the treatment is included when performed, rather than separately represented as part of this code.
Documentation should identify the liver target, the percutaneous approach, use of irreversible electroporation, and the treatment performed. The code has a 0-day global period, so same-day preoperative and postoperative care is included. When other procedures are performed in the same session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and the others are subject to the standard 50% multiple-procedure reduction. Modifier 50 is inappropriate. Medicare does not pay an assistant at surgery for this service, and co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.

47384 billing questions
How is this code different from percutaneous radiofrequency or cryoablation?
This code is for irreversible electroporation. Use the corresponding code for percutaneous radiofrequency ablation or cryoablation when that is the method performed.
Is imaging guidance separately reported with this service?
Imaging guidance used for the ablation is included when performed. Do not separately report guidance as though it were outside this service.
Does the code cover treatment of more than one liver tumor?
It covers percutaneous irreversible electroporation treatment of one or more liver tumors. The documentation should support the targets treated and the procedure performed.
Can modifier 50 be used when tumors are on both sides of the liver?
No. The CMS bilateral adjustment does not apply, and modifier 50 is inappropriate for this code.
How are other procedures in the same session paid?
The highest-valued procedure is paid in full, with the other procedures subject to the standard 50% multiple-procedure reduction. Medicare does not pay an assistant at surgery for this service; co-surgeons and team surgery are 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.
