2022 Billing and Coding Guidelines - Medtronic
2023 Billing and Coding Guide
Colorectal surgery
This guide is intended to aid providers in appropriate procedure coding for Colorectal Surgery. The document reflects applicable and commonly billed procedure codes as well as the unadjusted national Medicare average rates assigned to the code. This document is not allinclusive, nor does it replace advice from your coding and compliance departments and/or CPT?1 coding manuals. CPT?1 code descriptions in this document have been shortened to the consumer-friendly version per the American Medical Association (AMA) guidelines.2 Note, CPT?1 consumer-friendly descriptors should not be used for clinical coding or documentation.3
HCPCS II4 Codes
Level II HCPCS4 codes are primarily used to report supplies, drugs and implants that are not reported by a CPT?1 code. HCPCS codes are reported by the physician, hospital or DME provider that purchased the item, device, or supply. Different payers have different payment methods for these items.
C-codes are a series of HCPCS codes that facilities reimbursed under the Medicare Outpatient Prospective Payment System (OPPS) are required to report for eligible items and services. Medicare assigns C codes to specific devices eligible for pass-through payment. Every year, in the OPPS rule, Medicare publishes a list of CPT?1 and HCPCS codes that are designated as device-intensive procedures. When reporting procedures on this list, facilities should capture both the CPT?1 code representing the procedure performed and the C-code representing the device used. Although C-codes only affect Medicare outpatient reimbursement, facilities may also want to report C-codes on inpatient claims if the device is not used exclusively for inpatient procedures. Medicare tracks this information and uses it in its rate-setting process. Non-OPPS facilities may report C- codes at their discretion.
HCPCS II S-codes cannot be reported to Medicare. They are used only by non-Medicare payers, which cover and price them according to their own policies and provider contracts.
