Urology procedure

About 55882: Transurethral prostate tissue ablation

Reports transurethral ablation of prostate tissue using transducers when this approach is selected to treat prostate disease.

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.

55882 billing questions

How is this different from 55881?

Both involve transurethral prostate ablation, but 55882 identifies a transducer-based method. Select the code that matches the technique documented in the operative report.

Can imaging guidance be billed separately?

Imaging guidance performed as part of this ablation is included in the service. The operative documentation should identify the guidance used.

Should modifier 50 be reported?

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

Does the code have a postoperative global period?

It has a 0-day global period. Same-day preoperative and postoperative care is included.

Can an assistant or co-surgeon be reported?

CMS does not pay an assistant at surgery for this service. Co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.

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

CMS applies the standard multiple procedure reduction: the highest-valued procedure is paid in full, and the other procedures are paid at 50%.

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.
