Gastric surgery
About 43632: Distal partial gastrectomy with gastrojejunostomy
Reports distal partial stomach removal with reconstruction connecting the remaining stomach to the jejunum, commonly performed for gastric disease requiring resection.
A surgeon removes the distal portion of the stomach and restores continuity by connecting the remaining stomach to the jejunum. The gastrojejunostomy routes food past the duodenum. This operation may be performed for a resectable gastric tumor or other disease requiring removal of the distal stomach, typically in an operating room. The procedure includes the reconstruction specified by this code; it is not simply a stomach lesion excision or a total gastrectomy.
Select this code when the operative report supports distal partial resection and gastrojejunostomy reconstruction. Document the resection and the reconstruction performed. CMS assigns a 90-day global period, including the day-before preoperative visit and related postoperative care. For multiple procedures in one session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and other procedures are subject to the standard 50% reduction. An assistant at surgery may be paid; co-surgeon payment requires supporting documentation, and team surgery is not permitted. Modifier 50 is inappropriate for this single-stomach operation.

43632 billing questions
How does this differ from 43631?
Both describe distal partial gastrectomy, but 43632 includes gastrojejunostomy reconstruction. Choose 43631 when the reconstruction is gastroduodenostomy.
Is the gastrojejunostomy separately reported?
The gastrojejunostomy reconstruction is part of this procedure. The operative report should establish that the remaining stomach was connected to the jejunum.
When should 43633 be considered instead?
Use 43633 when the documented distal partial gastrectomy uses Roux-en-Y reconstruction rather than the gastrojejunostomy configuration described by 43632.
What postoperative care is included?
The 90-day global period includes the day-before preoperative visit and related postoperative care for 90 days.
Can an assistant or co-surgeon be reported?
CMS allows payment for an assistant at surgery. Co-surgeon payment requires supporting documentation; 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 are subject to the standard multiple-procedure reduction.
