Gastroenterology practices must take the new coding
changes into account in order to avoid leaving significant
money on the table. Approximately 25% of the AMA
(American Medical Association’s) changes to CPT codes in
2014 will be affecting gastroenterology coding significantly.
These changes have been brought in order to revise
gastroenterology codes for capturing advances in
endoscopic techniques, devices and technology. 2015 will
bring coding changes for lower gastrointestinal services.

Coding changes that will affect gastroenterology
practices:
 CPT 2014 has brought significant changes to the
procedures reported routinely by gastroenterologists.
There have been descriptor changes to upper GI
endoscopy procedure codes for including type of scope
used and route of entry.
 New codes have been introduced for esophagoscopy,
stent placements, ablation, dilation of esophagus and for
ERCP. Many old codes in ERCP have gone through
descriptor changes.

Are your coders prepared for these changes?
Gastroenterologists will have to prepare their
gastroenterology coding and billing department for 2014
coding revisions. Since ICD-10 is round the corner, extra
preparation will be required to ensure that errors don’t
disrupt cash flow of your practice.
Gastroenterology coders will have to speed up on several
gastro-specific diagnoses, including broader reporting
options in ICD-10 for chronic gastritis with specifics on
progress of condition.

How to prepare your practice for gastroenterology coding
changes?
 Maintaining accuracy in gastroenterology billing and coding can be a
challenging task, requiring experience and expertise to ensure
timely payments. Coders and billers should be trained in tracking
underpayments effectively or else your practice can see 7-10% low
levels of reimbursement.
 Facilities cannot afford to invest a significant amount of time in
ensuring collection of maximum reimbursement for their practice.
Due to this, several practices and ambulatory surgery centers are
outsourcing their medical billing requirements.With the help of an
experienced gastroenterology billing partner, practices are
enhancing collection rates and reducing delays and claim denials.
