My physician is doing the stool transplant procedure. We are being told by a hospital consultant that when he does a stool transplant on a Medicare patient he can only charge the 'G0455'. My physician is instilling the stool via the colonoscopy method. He is going all the way to the cecum; however, we are being told the only code we can charge for the Medicare patient is'G0455'. We are in the state of North Carolina. We have Palmetto Medicare as our carrier.
