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

What 50325 covers

CPT 50325 identifies back-table preparation of a kidney graft from a living donor before transplantation. The transplant surgeon prepares the procured graft outside the recipient; this work is distinct from removing the kidney from the donor and from implanting it in the recipient. It is part of the kidney-transplant operative episode.

Report it for preparation of the living-donor graft, separately from donor nephrectomy or recipient transplant surgery when those services are performed. Medicare assigns physician fee schedule status C, or carrier priced: CMS publishes no national payment, and the Medicare Administrative Contractor sets payment for each claim. Medicare's standard multiple-procedure reduction applies when procedures are performed in the same session.

This summary was written with AI assistance from CMS physician fee schedule data and checked against the CMS billing rules shown here. Rates on this page come directly from CMS files.
