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

What 50947 covers

A urologist detaches the ureter from its abnormal or damaged endpoint and creates a new connection to the bladder using a laparoscopic approach. The operation may address a distal ureteral injury, stricture, or other condition requiring the ureter to be reimplanted. It is generally performed in an operating room under anesthesia; robotic assistance may be used to carry out the laparoscopic work.

Select this code when the documented operation is the laparoscopic ureter-to-bladder reimplantation represented by this code, rather than a repair without reimplantation or a more extensive reimplantation variant. The operative report should identify the ureter and bladder anastomosis, the laparoscopic approach, and any additional reconstructive work. CMS assigns a 90-day global period, including the day-before preoperative visit and related postoperative care for 90 days. When multiple procedures are performed 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 made; co-surgeon payment requires supporting documentation, and team surgery is not permitted.
