The Path to Gastroenterology Billing & Prior Authorization Simplification

Navigating the terrain of gastroenterology billing, along with its prior authorization complexities and reimbursement intricacies, can be a daunting and time-consuming task. Due to its elaborate nature and diverse principles, billing for GI services often leads to confusion and errors. Take prior authorization in gastroenterology for example, a process that aims to uphold care standards for patients, improve safety, and regulate cost. It is also a major reason for headache for many. The increasing number of medication, services and procedures requiring prior authorization, along with new CPT® codes, adds to the pandemonium.

Some Common Gastroenterology Codes Requiring Prior Authorization You Need to Know

Several gastroenterology codes frequently require prior authorization. These include:

• 43239: Upper gastrointestinal endoscopy with biopsy (esophagus, stomach, duodenum, and/or jejunum)
• 99204: Office or outpatient visit for a new patient with a medically appropriate history/examination and moderate medical decision making
• 99214: Office or outpatient visit for an established patient
• 45380: Colonoscopy with biopsy (single or multiple)
• 45385: Colonoscopy with polypectomy

Given the complexity of the authorization process – which involves numerous statutory requirements, codes and verifications – many healthcare practices turn to experts for assistance.
