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

What 51726 covers

Urologists and urogynecologists use a complex cystometrogram to evaluate lower urinary tract symptoms such as urgency, incontinence, or difficulty emptying. A bladder catheter is used to fill the bladder while calibrated electronic equipment records pressure changes and the patient’s sensations during filling. The study may be performed in an office or outpatient facility as part of a urodynamic evaluation.

Report this level when the study uses calibrated electronic equipment; a simple cystometrogram using a simpler manometric method is a different service. The record should support the testing performed and findings, including pressure observations and patient responses. Bill without a modifier for the global service, modifier 26 for interpretation, or modifier TC for equipment and staff. Same-day preoperative and postoperative care is included in the 0-day global period. When multiple procedures are performed in one session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and others at 50%. Modifier 50 is inappropriate. Medicare does not pay an assistant at surgery for this service, and co-surgeon or team-surgery billing is not permitted.
