Colorectal surgery

About 45563: Rectal exploration and repair with colostomy

Reports operative exploration and repair of the rectum performed with colostomy creation, such as in selected congenital rectal conditions or rectal injuries.

A colorectal or general surgeon uses this service when operative exploration and rectal repair are performed together with creation of a colostomy. A congenital anorectal condition, such as imperforate anus, is a representative clinical context; the exact operative plan depends on the anatomy and findings. This is generally an operating-room service rather than an office procedure.

Report the code when the operative record supports both rectal exploration and repair and colostomy creation as part of the operation. The 90-day global package includes the day-before preoperative visit and related postoperative care through day 90. 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% reduction. An assistant at surgery may be paid; co-surgeon payment requires supporting documentation, and team-surgery billing is not permitted. Report this as a single rectal operation, not a bilateral procedure using modifier 50.

45563 billing questions

How is 45563 distinguished from 45562?

Can the colostomy be reported separately?

The colostomy is part of the service described by 45563. Review the operative report to confirm that both the rectal work and colostomy creation were performed.

What documentation supports 45563?

The operative report should describe the rectal exploration, the repair performed, and creation of the colostomy. Include the clinical condition and relevant operative findings.

Can modifier 50 be used?

No. Report the rectal operation as a single procedure; modifier 50 is inappropriate for this service.

How are other same-session procedures handled?

Under the standard multiple procedure reduction, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and other procedures are paid at 50% when performed in the same session.

Can an assistant or co-surgeon be reported?
