What 55867 covers

A urologist uses a laparoscopic approach to remove obstructing adenomatous prostate tissue while leaving the prostate capsule and surrounding structures. This simple, subtotal operation is used for conditions such as benign prostatic enlargement with substantial urinary obstruction; it is distinct from removal of the prostate and surrounding tissue as a radical cancer operation. The service is generally performed in an operating room at a hospital or ambulatory surgery facility.

Report the code when the operative documentation supports laparoscopic access and a simple subtotal prostatectomy. The note should identify the approach and the extent and purpose of prostate tissue removal, distinguishing it from a radical procedure or a different surgical route. CMS assigns a 90-day global period, including the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care. When multiple procedures are performed in the same session, the highest-valued is paid in full and other procedures are subject to the standard 50% multiple-procedure reduction. Assistant-at-surgery payment may be allowed; co-surgeon payment requires supporting documentation. Team surgery is not permitted, and modifier 50 is inappropriate.
