Transplant surgery
About 50547: Laparoscopic living-donor kidney procurement
Reports laparoscopic removal and preparation of a living donor kidney for transplantation, performed by a surgeon during donor procurement.
This service covers laparoscopic surgery to procure a kidney from a living donor for transplantation, including preparing the kidney for the transplant. A urologist or transplant surgeon typically performs it in a hospital operating room. The code describes work on the donor; it does not represent implantation into the recipient.
Report it when the operative record supports living-donor procurement by laparoscopy, rather than removal for treatment of the donor’s kidney disease. The major-surgery global period includes the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care. For eligible procedures performed in the same session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and other procedures are subject to the standard multiple-procedure reduction. Modifier 50 identifies a bilateral procedure, paid at 150%. An assistant at surgery may be paid; co-surgeons require supporting documentation, and team surgery is not permitted.

50547 billing questions
How does this differ from a routine laparoscopic nephrectomy?
Use this code for laparoscopic kidney procurement from a living donor for transplantation. A nephrectomy performed to treat the donor’s disease is a different service.
Does the code include preparation of the donor kidney?
Yes. Kidney preparation for transplantation is part of the donor procurement service represented by this code.
Does this code describe the recipient’s transplant operation?
No. It reports the donor-side procurement operation, not implantation of the kidney into the recipient.
What documentation supports reporting this code?
The operative report should establish that the patient was a living donor and that the kidney was removed laparoscopically for transplantation. It should also describe the procurement and preparation performed.
How are assistants and co-surgeons handled?
An assistant at surgery may be paid. Co-surgeons are paid only with supporting documentation; team surgery is not permitted.
What payment rules affect this service?
The 90-day global includes the day-before preoperative visit and related postoperative care. When multiple procedures are performed in the same session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and others are subject to the standard reduction; a bilateral procedure reported with modifier 50 is paid at 150%.
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.
