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

What 51580 covers

A urologist removes the entire bladder and routes the ureters either to the skin as a ureterostomy or into the sigmoid colon as a ureterosigmoidostomy. The operation is generally performed in a hospital operating room, commonly for bladder cancer requiring cystectomy and urinary diversion. The operative report should identify the extent of bladder removal and the specific route used for each ureter.

Choose this code for the ureterostomy or ureterosigmoidostomy approach, rather than a bowel conduit or continent reservoir. The diversion is part of the reported operative service. This major surgery has 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. Modifier 50 is inappropriate. Assistant-at-surgery services may be paid; co-surgeon payment requires 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.
