Urology surgery
About 52601: Initial transurethral prostate resection
Reports electrosurgical removal of obstructing prostate tissue through the urethra, typically to relieve urinary symptoms from benign prostatic enlargement.
A urologist performs this transurethral electrosurgical resection to remove prostate tissue obstructing urinary flow, most often for benign prostatic enlargement. The procedure is commonly performed in an operating room with endoscopic visualization; removed tissue may be sent for pathology. The service includes associated cystourethroscopy and control of postoperative bleeding when part of the TURP service.
Report 52601 for the initial electrosurgical resection, not a later procedure to remove recurrent prostate tissue. The operative report should support the indication and describe the resection performed. Medicare assigns a 90-day global period: the day-before preoperative visit and related postoperative care during that period are included. When multiple procedures occur 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 is inappropriate. Medicare does not pay an assistant at surgery for this service; co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.

52601 billing questions
When should 52601 be used instead of 52630?
Use 52601 for the initial electrosurgical resection. Code 52630 describes a later resection for recurrent obstructing prostate tissue or regrowth.
Is cystourethroscopy separately reportable with the TURP?
Cystourethroscopy associated with the TURP is included in the service. The same code also includes associated control of postoperative bleeding.
Does 52601 have a global period?
Yes. Medicare assigns a 90-day global period, including the day-before preoperative visit and related postoperative care during the 90 days.
Can modifier 50 be reported?
No. The bilateral adjustment does not apply to this prostate procedure, so modifier 50 is inappropriate.
Can an assistant surgeon or co-surgeon be billed?
Medicare does not pay an assistant at surgery for 52601. Co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted for this service.
How is 52601 paid when other procedures are performed in the same session?
The highest-valued procedure is paid in full, and other procedures are subject to the standard multiple-procedure reduction.
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.
