SURG.00056 Transanal Radiofrequency Treatment of Fecal Incontinence

This policy addresses transanal radiofrequency therapy for fecal incontinence, including the Secca System/procedure. Anthem considers this service investigational/experimental and not medically necessary; therefore, it is not covered. There are no covered indications regardless of etiology, severity, or prior treatments, and claims (e.g., CPT/HCPCS 46999, C9716) will be denied.
