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

What 52287 covers

A urologist typically performs this procedure by passing a cystoscope through the urethra and injecting a chemodenervation agent into the bladder wall. Common indications include overactive bladder with inadequate response or intolerance to medication and neurogenic detrusor overactivity. The code represents the cystoscopic injection service, not a biopsy or treatment of a bladder lesion. When the practice supplies onabotulinumtoxinA, the drug may be reported separately using the applicable drug code.

Report the service for the cystoscopic chemodenervation session; document the indication, agent and dose, injection sites, and procedure performed. The procedure has a 0-day global period, so same-day preoperative and postoperative care is included. When related endoscopies are performed together, endoscopy-family pricing applies. Modifier 50 is inappropriate for this service. Medicare does not pay an assistant at surgery, and co-surgeon and team-surgery reporting are not permitted. The physician fee schedule has different practice-expense inputs for office and facility settings.
