THE HARD PARTS

What makes colorectal surgery billing hard

Office procedures on the visit date

Same-day procedures and visits need separate documentation to be paid.

Screening rules

Screening and diagnostic scopes are billed differently and change patient cost.

Pathology follow-up

Every specimen needs a result, a decision and a patient letter.

WHERE THE WORK HAPPENS

How colorectal surgery care is delivered and billed

Colon and rectal surgeons treat conditions from hemorrhoids to colorectal cancer, in the office, the endoscopy suite and the operating room. Office procedures such as anoscopy and banding are billed on the professional claim; colonoscopy and surgery are performed in hospitals or surgery centers and billed with the facility place of service. Cancer care is coordinated closely with oncology.

What payers check on colorectal surgery claims

Screening colonoscopy that finds and removes a polyp keeps its screening indicators, which protects the patient’s cost sharing.
Office procedures such as hemorrhoid banding carry their own global periods, and repeat sessions are billed only as documented.
Colorectal cancer surgery is coded with the cancer site and any ostomy created.
Operations carry a 90-day global period that includes routine post-operative visits.
Procedures in a hospital or surgery center carry the facility place of service.

Common colorectal surgery diagnoses ICD-10-CM

K64.1	Second degree hemorrhoids
K60.2	Anal fissure, unspecified
K57.30	Diverticulosis of large intestine without perforation or abscess without bleeding
K62.5	Hemorrhage of anus and rectum
C20	Malignant neoplasm of rectum
Z12.11	Encounter for screening for malignant neoplasm of colon

Examples only. The provider chooses the code that matches the documented diagnosis, and XEHR checks it against the note and the payer's rules before the claim goes out.
