What 50700 covers

Ureteroplasty is reconstructive surgery on the ureter to correct a narrowing or other defect by reshaping or repairing the ureter so urine can drain from the kidney toward the bladder. A urologist typically performs the operation in a surgical setting when a ureteral stricture or similar defect requires reconstruction. The operative report should identify the affected ureter and describe the lesion and repair performed.

Select 50700 when the operation is plastic reconstruction of the ureter itself; use a code for a defined anastomosis or reimplantation when that is the procedure performed. Document the side, site, pathology, and operative work. CMS assigns a 90-day major-surgery global period, including the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care. For procedures in the same session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and others at 50%. Bilateral reporting with modifier 50 is paid at 150%. Assistant-at-surgery payment may be available; co-surgeon payment requires supporting documentation, and team surgery is not permitted.
