My doctor did a fecal transplant today and I am looking for a code. Does anyone know what procedure code I would use? Could not find anything in the CPT book.

Thanks,
 
Fecal transplant

Hi Randi,
Interesting! A similar question was also posted in the Gen'l Surg section of Coding 911 list just a few weeks ago.

The coders who responded recommended using the unlisted code, 44799, because there is no code for a fecal transplant.

Fecal transplant is AKA fecal bacteriotherapy, fecal transfusion or human probiotic transfusion. It is used to treat c-diff colitis by restoring normal bacteria in the colon. The feces is most often donated by a relative. :o

Hope this is helpful,
pat k
