Wiki Cpt 45388

[jwilliams@fayettevillegastro.com]

Hi! I have used 45388 (new code for ablation) for the first time this year and Medicare is rejecting stating it is not a valid code. Is anyone else having this problem and if so, is there a different code for Medicare that I nor a Medicare Rep can find? Thanks!

I think I have found the answer to my own question. HCPS G6024 for reporting 45388 to Medicare.

45388

Look at HCPCS code G6024, that is the Medicare accepted code for the 45388.

Is anyone getting paid for the ASC from Medicare? Our claims are still being rejected for not a valid code. We have an escalated ticket with Noridian they have sent to CMS because they are not sure what to do. We can't bill a G6024 for the facility as that is a physician code and the 45383 has been deleted. Just wondering if anyone else has had any success as of yet??

Physician vs Facility Coding

It is my understanding if the code changed in 2015 for the physician side you will report the temporary G Code- Example Ablation for Medicare would be G6024, but for the facility side you need to report the new 2015 code which is 45388
