General surgery
About 47361: Complex liver wound repair
Complex liver wound repair is reported for operative treatment of a liver injury requiring more than a simple suture repair, such as a traumatic laceration.
This service treats a significant liver wound or injury during an operation, commonly in an emergency setting after blunt or penetrating abdominal trauma. A trauma, acute care, or hepatobiliary surgeon may repair the injured liver, control bleeding, and address related operative findings. The operative report should establish the injury and the complexity of the repair performed.
Select this code based on the documented repair and its complexity, not simply the presence of a liver injury. The record should describe the wound, repair technique, and any associated operative maneuvers that distinguish the service from a simple repair or another complex-repair level. Medicare assigns a 90-day global period, including the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care. When multiple procedures occur in the same session, the highest-valued is paid in full and other procedures are subject to the standard multiple procedure reduction. Modifier 50 is inappropriate for this liver repair. Assistant-at-surgery payment may be available; co-surgeon payment requires supporting documentation, and team surgery is not permitted.

47361 billing questions
How does 47361 differ from a simple liver wound repair?
47361 is for a complex repair. Use the simple-repair level when the operative work and documentation support a simple liver wound repair rather than a complex one.
What documentation supports reporting 47361?
Document the liver injury, the repair performed, and the operative details that support the complex level. Include associated maneuvers when they help distinguish the repair from another code in the wound-repair family.
Is postoperative care included?
Yes. The 90-day global period includes the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care.
Can modifier 50 be reported?
No. The CMS bilateral adjustment does not apply to this code, and modifier 50 is inappropriate for the liver repair.
Can an assistant or co-surgeon be paid?
Assistant-at-surgery payment may be made. Co-surgeon payment requires supporting documentation; team surgery is not permitted.
What happens when another procedure is performed in the same session?
Under the standard multiple procedure reduction, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and the other procedures are paid at 50%.
