Pancreatic surgery
About 48148: Pancreatic duct excision
Report pancreatic duct excision when surgery removes diseased duct, with or without reconstruction connecting the remaining duct to the jejunum.
This operation removes a diseased portion of the pancreatic duct; reconstruction may connect the remaining duct to the jejunum. It is typically performed by a surgeon treating pancreatic duct disease in an operating-room setting. The operative report should make clear that the duct itself was excised and describe any reconstruction, rather than documenting only a pancreatic tissue resection, debridement, or biopsy.
Select this code when the procedure performed is duct excision, not removal of pancreatic parenchyma alone. The 90-day global period includes the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care. 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 not appropriate for this duct-removal service. Assistant-at-surgery payment may be available; co-surgeon payment requires supporting documentation, and team surgery is not permitted.

48148 billing questions
How is duct excision different from a partial pancreatectomy?
This code is for removal of pancreatic duct. A partial pancreatectomy code is used when pancreatic tissue is resected; the operative report should identify which structure was removed.
Is pancreaticojejunostomy included?
The service includes duct excision with or without pancreaticojejunostomy. The reconstruction is not a reason to report a separate code for the same described service.
Should modifier 50 be reported?
No. Modifier 50 is not appropriate for this duct-removal service; it is not reported as paired right- and left-sided work.
What postoperative care is included in the global period?
The 90-day global period includes the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care.
Can an assistant surgeon or co-surgeon be reported?
Assistant-at-surgery payment may be available. Co-surgeon payment requires supporting documentation, and team surgery is not permitted.
How are other procedures in the same session paid?
The highest-valued procedure is paid in full, and other procedures in the same session are subject to the standard 50% multiple-procedure 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.
