CPT code 46706 represents a minimally invasive surgical technique for anal fistula repair that uses fibrin glue to occlude the fistula tract. The procedure offers a sphincter-sparing option that can reduce wound healing time and preserve continence compared with more invasive fistulotomy approaches. Nationally, interest in fibrin glue procedures centers on clinical outcomes, utilization patterns, and payer coverage policies that affect patient access to this specialized treatment.

Key payers covered in this analysis include Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna Health, UnitedHealthcare, and Medicare. The publication outlines typical sites of service, clinical context for use, and the types of benchmarks and policy issues readers can expect. That includes coverage criteria variance among major payers, utilization benchmarks, and coding guidance to support accurate billing.

Readers will learn the clinical indications and procedural intent behind CPT code 46706, how major payers approach coverage and prior authorization (where applicable), and what performance and utilization benchmarks are relevant for ambulatory surgery and outpatient settings. The report also highlights emerging policy considerations tied to minimally invasive anorectal procedures and practical documentation points for coding clarity.
