What 51727 covers

This urodynamic study measures bladder pressure as the bladder fills and includes urethral pressure profile measurements. A catheter-based setup and pressure transducers collect the measurements; urologists and urogynecologists commonly perform or supervise the study in office or facility settings. It may help assess urinary incontinence, difficulty voiding, or other lower urinary tract symptoms when pressure measurements are needed to characterize function.

Select 51727 when the documented study includes complex cystometry and urethral pressure profile testing. The record should support the procedures performed and the resulting interpretation; use 51726 for complex cystometry without the profile, 51728 when voiding pressure studies are included, and 51729 when both additional study types are performed. Medicare recognizes professional and technical components: modifier 26 identifies interpretation, modifier TC identifies equipment and staff, and an unmodified claim represents the global service. The 0-day global period includes same-day preoperative and postoperative care. In a same-session multiple-procedure claim, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and others are subject to the stated reduction. Modifier 50 is inappropriate. Assistant-at-surgery payment requires medical-necessity documentation; co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.

This summary was written with AI assistance from CMS physician fee schedule data and checked against the CMS billing rules shown here. Rates on this page come directly from CMS files.

51727 billing questions

How does 51727 differ from 51726?

51727 includes a urethral pressure profile with complex cystometry. Use 51726 when complex cystometry is performed without that profile.

When should 51728 or 51729 be selected instead?

Use 51728 when the study includes voiding pressure measurements. Use 51729 when it includes both voiding pressure studies and a urethral pressure profile.

Can the professional and technical portions be billed separately?

Yes. Modifier 26 identifies the professional interpretation, and modifier TC identifies the technical service; without either modifier, the claim represents the global service.

Is modifier 50 appropriate for this study?

No. CMS identifies bilateral adjustment as inappropriate for this code.

How does Medicare treat multiple procedures in the same session?

The highest-valued procedure is paid in full, and the other procedures are subject to the multiple-procedure reduction specified by CMS.

What same-day care is included in the global service?

The 0-day global period includes same-day preoperative and postoperative care.

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.
