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

What 50800 covers

A urologist surgically connects a ureter to bowel so urine drains into the intestinal segment. This may be part of urinary diversion after cystectomy or another reconstruction in which the operative plan directs urine from the ureter into bowel. The service may include partial removal of intestine needed to create the connection. The operative report should identify the ureter and bowel segment involved and describe the anastomosis and any associated intestinal work.

Select this code for the ureter-to-bowel connection itself, rather than a broader operation that constructs a reservoir or substitutes bowel for a missing ureter. Medicare assigns a 90-day global period, including the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care. When multiple procedures occur in the same session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and other procedures are subject to the standard 50% reduction. For a bilateral procedure reported with modifier 50, payment is 150%. An assistant at surgery may be paid; co-surgeons are paid only with supporting documentation, and team surgery is not permitted.

FeeBase calculates base physician payments from CMS work, practice-expense and malpractice RVUs, adjusted by each locality’s geographic indexes and the conversion factor. Services without a published rate are labeled, never given a made-up amount. Amounts are Medicare allowed amounts before claim adjustments: not a patient’s bill or a commercial rate.
