TaTME with proctosigmoidectomy and anastomosis below peritoneal reflection - perineal surgeon
When to Use
- Use S212 exclusively when performing the perineal component of a TaTME procedure while a separate surgeon performs the abdominal component billed as S211.
- Select this code when the primary surgical focus is the transanal dissection, proctosigmoidectomy, and creation of the anastomosis below the peritoneal reflection.
Common Pitfalls
- Billing S212 in isolation without a corresponding S211 claim from the abdominal surgeon will trigger an audit or rejection for incomplete procedure reporting.
- Attempting to bill additional proctectomy codes (such as Z502) alongside S212 is redundant and will result in a claim rejection for unbundling.
Billing Tips
- Ensure the operative report clearly delineates the perineal surgeon's specific tasks to justify the use of the S212 fee versus the abdominal S211 fee.
