Complete manual transanal irrigation system including water reservoir, pump, and tubing for home bowel management

This code describes a complete system designed for manual transanal irrigation, a method used to manage chronic constipation or fecal incontinence. The system facilitates the controlled introduction of water into the rectum and lower colon to stimulate bowel evacuation.

This code is appropriate when a patient is prescribed and supplied with a manual transanal irrigation system for home use. Documentation should clearly indicate the medical necessity for the system, such as chronic constipation refractory to other treatments or neurogenic bowel dysfunction.

• Ensure all components (reservoir, pump, tubing) are included in the system provided; if components are supplied separately, other codes may apply.
• This code represents the system itself, not the procedure of irrigation, which is typically performed by the patient.
• Verify payer-specific policies regarding coverage for home medical equipment and supplies for bowel management.
