CPT code 00910: Transurethral anesthesia, other transurethral procedures2026 Medicare rate & RVUs

Medicare allowed amount for participating (non-QP) physicians, before deductible, coinsurance and claim adjustments. Not a patient’s bill or a hospital charge.

What 00910 covers

This code covers anesthesia for urinary-tract procedures performed through the urethra when no more specific transurethral anesthesia category describes the procedure. Urethrocystoscopy is a representative diagnostic service; other qualifying work may be diagnostic or therapeutic and may target structures reached through the urethra. An anesthesiologist or CRNA reports the anesthesia service, commonly in a hospital or ambulatory surgery setting, while the urologist reports the operative or diagnostic service.

Use 00910 when the operative report documents transurethral access but the procedure is not one of the specifically identified services represented by 00912, 00914, 00916, or 00918. The anesthesia record should identify the procedure and show anesthesia start and stop times; the operative report should establish the route and target. Medicare payment is (3 base units + time units) multiplied by the locality’s anesthesia conversion factor. Time is reported in minutes and converted to 15-minute units to one decimal place; it starts when the anesthesia practitioner begins preparing the patient and ends when personal attendance ends and the patient can safely be placed under postoperative care. The conversion factor varies by locality.
