What 53661 covers
This service is a repeat dilation of the female urethra, generally performed by a urologist or other qualified clinician using a dilator to widen the urethral channel. It may be performed in an office or facility when a patient returns for further treatment after an earlier dilation. The service addresses the urethra itself; documentation should support the reason for repeat treatment and the procedure performed.
Select this code for a subsequent female urethral dilation, rather than the initial or complicated service. Record the indication, relevant findings, and that dilation was carried out. Medicare assigns a 0-day global period, so same-day preoperative and postoperative care is included. When multiple procedures are performed in one 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 for this service, and co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.

53661 billing questions
How does this differ from 53660?
53661 is for a subsequent female urethral dilation; 53660 is the initial service in that code family.
When would 53665 be considered instead?
Use 53665 when the service meets the code family’s criteria for a complicated female urethral dilation, rather than a subsequent routine dilation.
How is this distinguished from 53621?
53621 is in the female urethral-stricture dilation family. Choose between the codes based on the documented service and applicable code-family criteria, not simply because dilation is repeated.
Is same-day care included in the procedure payment?
Yes. The 0-day global period includes same-day preoperative and postoperative care.
Can modifier 50 be reported?
No. The CMS bilateral adjustment does not apply, and modifier 50 is inappropriate for this service.
How does Medicare handle other procedures performed in the same session?
The highest-valued procedure is paid in full; other procedures in the session are subject to the standard 50% multiple-procedure reduction.
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.
