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

What 55882 covers

A urologist performs this procedure by passing a transducer-based ablation device through the urethra to treat prostate tissue. Imaging may be used to guide treatment. The service is performed in an operative setting when ablation, rather than surgical removal of the prostate, is selected for the patient’s prostate disease.

Choose this code based on the transurethral route and transducer-based technique; document the approach, device method, tissue treated, and imaging used. CMS 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% reduction. Modifier 50 is inappropriate. CMS does not pay an assistant at surgery for this service, and co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.

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.
