About 50780: Single ureter bladder reimplantation
Surgical reimplantation of a single ureter into the bladder, reported when the ureter needs a new bladder connection without additional reconstructive techniques.
50780 represents surgical reimplantation of one ureter into the bladder, creating a new ureterovesical connection. Urologists perform it when an abnormal or damaged distal ureter needs a reconstructed bladder insertion, including selected cases of vesicoureteral reflux, distal obstruction, or ureteral injury. The procedure is generally performed in an operating room in a hospital or ambulatory surgery setting.
Choose this code when the documented work supports direct reattachment rather than the additional ureteral tailoring or bladder advancement techniques represented by related codes. Record the side, indication, operative anatomy, and reconstructive steps. The 90-day global includes the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care. For procedures performed in one session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and other procedures at 50%. Bilateral reporting with modifier 50 is paid at 150%. Assistant-at-surgery services may be paid; co-surgeon payment requires supporting documentation, and team surgery is not permitted.

50780 billing questions
When should I choose 50780 rather than 50782?
Use 50780 for direct reattachment of the ureter to the bladder. Code 50782 describes reimplantation that includes extensive ureteral tailoring.
How does 50780 differ from 50783?
50783 includes a vesico-psoas hitch or bladder flap. Report 50780 when the documented reconstruction is a direct bladder anastomosis without those techniques.
How is bilateral reimplantation reported?
For bilateral work, report modifier 50; CMS pays the bilateral procedure at 150%.
Are related postoperative visits included?
Yes. The 90-day global includes the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care.
What happens when another procedure is performed in the same session?
CMS pays the highest-valued procedure in full and other procedures at 50% under the standard multiple procedure reduction.
Can an assistant or co-surgeon be paid?
Assistant-at-surgery services may be paid. Co-surgeons are paid only with supporting documentation; team surgery is not permitted.
Where these rates come from
FeeBase calculates base physician payments from CMS work, practice-expense, and malpractice RVUs, adjusted by each locality’s geographic indices and the applicable conversion factor. Unavailable or separately priced services are labeled rather than assigned a made-up amount.
