HCPCS Level II code M0100 denotes intragastric hypothermia using gastric freezing, a procedural therapeutic intervention that cools the stomach via endoscopic or intragastric means. The code is relevant nationally as a specialized procedural identifier supporting billing and tracking of gastric cooling therapies used in select clinical scenarios. It enables payers and providers to categorize and reimburse a distinct intragastric therapeutic service.

Key payers included in the analysis are Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna Health, UnitedHealthcare and Medicare. Readers will find a concise description of the clinical service and the typical sites where the procedure is performed (endoscopy suites, operating rooms, inpatient or outpatient settings). The publication outlines expected benchmarking topics and policy considerations: coding and billing context, how M0100 is positioned among HCPCS Level II procedures, and clinical context for intragastric hypothermia use. Where available, the piece addresses reimbursement benchmarks, common modifier usage, and potential documentation considerations.
