Enteroscopy Overview

A new definition and instructions for reporting antegrade transoral small intestine endoscopy (ie, enteroscopy) will be added to the section guidelines. Enteroscopy is defined by the most distal segment of small intestine that is examined; coding does not reflect the technology used to perform the examination.

Codes in the 44360 family for enteroscopy not including ileum (44360-44373) are endoscopic procedures to visualize the esophagus through the jejunum using an antegrade approach. Codes in the 44376 family for enteroscopy including ileum (44376-44379) are endoscopic procedures to visualize the esophagus through the ileum using an antegrade approach.

If an endoscope cannot be advanced at least 50 cm beyond the pylorus, see the appropriate code in the EGD family (43233, 43235-43259, 43266, 43270). If an endoscope can be passed at least 50 cm beyond pylorus but only into jejunum, see the appropriate code in the enteroscopy not including ileum family (44360-44373).
