In CPT 44705 (Preparation of fecal microbiota for instillation, including assessment of donor specimen) is a new gastroenterology procedure for Stool Transplant but CMS does not accept RUC (Relative Value Scale Update Committee) recommended RVU and has created HCPCS Code G0455 for this procedure. Concern is Medicare payment for the preparation of the donor specimen would only be made if the specimen is ultimately used for the treatment of a beneficiary.To bill for CPT code 44705 please use HCPCS code G0455 (Preparation with instillation of fecal microbiota by any method, including assessment of donor specimen).
