What 52305 covers

A urologist treats congenital posterior urethral valves or an obstructive posterior urethral membrane by working through a cystoscope passed into the urethra. The endoscopic intervention opens or removes the obstructing tissue to improve urine flow. This procedure is most often encountered in pediatric urology, including treatment of a child with urinary outflow obstruction identified during evaluation of the lower urinary tract. The operative report should identify the congenital obstruction and describe the treatment performed.

Report this code for treatment of the congenital urethral obstruction, not for incision of a ureterocele or removal of a bladder or urethral foreign body. The note should support the specific diagnosis, endoscopic approach, and intervention. CMS assigns 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 descriptor or anatomy. CMS payment rules also restrict assistant-at-surgery payment and do not permit co-surgeons or team surgery.

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.

52305 billing questions

When is this code appropriate instead of 52300 or 52301?

Use this code for endoscopic treatment of congenital posterior urethral valves or an obstructive posterior urethral membrane. Codes 52300 and 52301 concern ureterocele treatment.

Can diagnostic cystoscopy be reported separately?

Cystoscopic access and visualization are part of the operative service. The documentation should describe the congenital obstruction and the treatment performed, rather than treating the diagnostic inspection as a separate service.

Does modifier 50 apply?

No. CMS identifies bilateral adjustment as inappropriate for this descriptor or anatomy.

How does the 0-day global period affect same-day care?

Same-day preoperative and postoperative care is included in the procedure's global period.

Can an assistant, co-surgeon, or surgical team be paid?

CMS lists a statutory restriction on assistant-at-surgery payment for this code and does not permit co-surgeons or team surgery.

What happens when another related endoscopy is performed during the same session?

CMS endoscopy family pricing applies when related endoscopies are performed together. The operative documentation should support each service reported.

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.
