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

What 52301 covers

A ureterocele is a ballooning of the ureter’s lower end where it enters the bladder. In an operating room or endoscopy suite, a urologist passes a cystoscope through the urethra and incises or resects the ureterocele to open the outlet. This is used for ureteroceles associated with impaired drainage, recurrent infection, or other urinary tract problems. The operative report should identify the ureterocele and describe the endoscopic treatment performed.

Report this code when the documented procedure meets its ureterocele-treatment criteria; distinguish it from a less extensive ureterocele incision code by the work recorded, not by diagnosis alone. The minor-procedure global period is zero days, with same-day preoperative and postoperative care included. When related endoscopies are performed together, endoscopy-family pricing applies. The code is priced as bilateral, so modifier 50 does not increase payment. Assistant-at-surgery payment requires documentation of medical necessity; co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.
