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

What 53660 covers

A urologist or other qualified physician uses an instrument to widen the female urethral passage when a clinical problem calls for skilled dilation. The service may be performed in an office or facility. It is distinct from routine catheter placement: the record should show why dilation was needed and the treatment performed, rather than only documenting passage of a catheter for drainage or specimen collection.

Select this code for the skilled female urethral dilation described by the service, not simply because a catheter was passed. When the documented condition is a urethral stricture, compare the stricture-specific codes, including the code family for female stricture dilation. This procedure has a 0-day global period, so same-day preoperative and postoperative care is included. If other procedures are performed in the same session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and other procedures are subject to the standard 50% multiple-procedure reduction. Modifier 50 is inappropriate. Medicare does not pay an assistant at surgery, and co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.
