HCPCS Level II code C1765 represents an adhesion barrier device used as an intraoperative surgical adjunct to reduce postoperative adhesions. Adhesion barriers are clinically relevant across many surgical specialties — including general, gynecologic, and colorectal surgery — because adhesions can contribute to complications such as bowel obstruction, chronic pain, and repeat operations. Nationally, billing and coverage for adhesion barriers influence device access, hospital supply planning, and procedure-level costs.

Key payers in this analysis include Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna Health, UnitedHealthcare, and Medicare. Readers will find a concise overview of what C1765 denotes, typical sites of service, and how the code fits into surgical supply and billing workflows. The publication summarizes benchmark considerations, payer coverage patterns, common billing scenarios, and relevant policy updates affecting device coding and reimbursement. It also provides clinical context on when adhesion barriers are used and the implications for hospital coding staff and surgical teams.

This national-level summary is intended to help coding managers, revenue cycle leaders, and clinicians understand the role of HCPCS Level II code C1765 in perioperative billing, coverage discussions, and resource planning. Data not available in the input will be noted in detailed sections where applicable.
