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

What 52341 covers

A urologist uses a cystoscope passed through the urethra and bladder to reach and treat a narrowed ureter. Treatment may widen the stricture with a balloon or open it with an incision using an energy device. This service is performed in settings equipped for endoscopic urologic procedures, commonly a hospital or ambulatory surgery center, when a ureteral narrowing is being treated rather than only inspected.

Choose the code based on the stricture’s location and the approach documented. The operative report should identify the treated ureter and side, the stricture site, and the treatment performed. This is a minor procedure with a 0-day global period, so same-day preoperative and postoperative care is included. CMS applies endoscopy-family pricing when related endoscopies are performed together. For bilateral treatment, modifier 50 is paid at 150%. CMS does not pay an assistant at surgery; co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.
