Question: New Jersey Subscriber Answer: To clear the impacted feces, your gastroenterologist might have to perform a manual disimpaction under anesthesia. To clear the impaction, your gastroenterologist will insert a gloved lubricated finger into the rectum and gently massage around the borders of the impaction and try to clear the mass by breaking it up. He might also use the aid of an instrument instead of using the finger to breakup the mass to clear it. To report the procedure that your gastroenterologist performed, you will have to use the CPT® code 45915 (Removal of fecal impaction or foreign body [separate procedure] under anesthesia).
