Anorectal surgery
About 46750: Anal sphincteroplasty for incontinence
Reports operative repair of the anal sphincter to address fecal incontinence associated with sphincter injury or a defect.
This operation restores continuity or function of the anal sphincter when a defect contributes to fecal incontinence. A colorectal surgeon or other surgeon experienced in anorectal procedures may perform it, commonly in a hospital or outpatient surgical facility. The operative approach and repair method depend on the defect and the surgeon’s plan; the service is distinct from surgery directed at an anal stricture or fistula.
Report the code when the operative record supports repair of the anal sphincter for incontinence, including the identified defect and work performed. CMS assigns a 90-day global period, which includes the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of 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 multiple-procedure reduction. Modifier 50 is inappropriate for this code. Assistant-at-surgery payment may be available; co-surgeon payment requires supporting documentation, and team surgery is not permitted.

46750 billing questions
When is 46750 appropriate instead of an anal fistula repair code?
Use 46750 for operative repair of the anal sphincter to address incontinence. Codes for fistula repair describe treatment of a fistulous tract, not sphincter repair alone.
What documentation supports reporting 46750?
The operative report should describe the sphincter defect or injury, its relationship to incontinence, and the repair performed.
Can modifier 50 be appended?
No. CMS identifies bilateral adjustment as inappropriate for this code.
What postoperative care is included?
The 90-day global period includes the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care.
How does CMS handle another procedure performed in the same session?
The highest-valued procedure is paid in full, and other procedures are subject to the standard multiple-procedure reduction.
May an assistant or co-surgeon be reported?
Assistant-at-surgery payment may be available. Co-surgeon payment requires supporting documentation; team surgery is not permitted.
