Gastrointestinal imaging
About 91113: Colon capsule imaging with interpretation
Reports capsule-based imaging of the colon when a clinician reviews the recorded images and documents an interpretation and report.
A swallowed imaging capsule records views of the colon as it passes through the gastrointestinal tract. A gastroenterologist or other qualified physician reviews the recorded images and prepares the interpretation; technical staff may support capsule administration and image capture. The study may be selected when a capsule-based examination is used to assess colonic mucosa, including after an incomplete conventional colonoscopy or when that examination cannot be completed.
Report 91113 for the colon portion of capsule imaging, not for an esophageal or small-bowel study. Documentation should identify the colon capsule examination, support that images were acquired, and include the physician’s interpretation and report. CMS recognizes professional and technical components: modifier 26 identifies the interpretation, modifier TC identifies the equipment and staff service, and reporting without a component modifier represents the global service.
