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.

51726 billing questions

When should 51726 be chosen over 51725?

Use 51726 for a cystometrogram performed with calibrated electronic equipment. Code 51725 represents the simple study using a simpler manometric method.

How does 51726 differ from 51727, 51728, and 51729?

Those codes describe a complex cystometrogram combined with additional urethral pressure profile and/or voiding pressure studies. Select the code that matches the testing actually performed.

Can the professional and technical portions be billed separately?

Yes. Modifier 26 identifies interpretation, and modifier TC identifies the technical service, including equipment and staff. Without either modifier, the claim represents the global service.

What happens when other procedures are performed in the same session?

The highest-valued procedure is paid in full, and the other procedures are subject to the standard multiple procedure reduction, with payment at 50%.

What documentation supports reporting 51726?

Document the electronic cystometrogram performed, the pressure observations and patient responses during filling, and the findings used in the interpretation.

Where these rates come from

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.
