Urology

About 53660: Female urethral dilation requiring physician skill

Reports physician-performed dilation of the female urethra when skilled treatment is needed to widen the urethral passage.

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.

53660 billing questions

How does 53660 differ from female stricture-dilation codes?

Use the stricture-specific family when the record identifies and treats a urethral stricture. Code 53660 describes skilled dilation of the female urethra outside that stricture-specific selection.

Is routine catheterization reported as 53660?

No. The record must support skilled urethral dilation; passage of a catheter solely for drainage or specimen collection does not establish this service.

Should modifier 50 be appended for dilation of both sides?

No. CMS identifies bilateral adjustment as inappropriate for this code.

Is same-day care included in the payment?

Yes. The 0-day global period includes same-day preoperative and postoperative care.

What happens when another procedure is performed in the same session?

The highest-valued procedure is paid in full, and other procedures are subject to the standard multiple-procedure reduction.

Can an assistant or co-surgeon be reported?

Medicare does not pay an assistant at surgery for this service. 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 indices and the applicable conversion factor. Unavailable or separately priced services are labeled rather than assigned a made-up amount.
