Urologic surgery
About 50728: Complicated ureteral revision
Reports complex operative revision of a ureter to correct a significant abnormality, such as scarring or deformity after prior surgery or injury.
A urologist performs this operation to revise a ureter when its anatomy or function requires a complicated reconstruction. The work may address a ureter altered by prior surgery or injury, including significant scarring or narrowing. The surgeon dissects the affected ureter and reconstructs it to restore suitable drainage or continuity. This is generally an operating-room service in a facility setting, rather than an office procedure.
Select this code when the operative report supports a complicated ureteral revision, rather than the less complex revision represented by 50727. Document the affected anatomy, the condition being corrected, the extent of dissection, and the reconstructive steps that establish the complexity. Medicare assigns a 90-day global period, including the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care. When multiple procedures occur in the same session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and others are subject to the standard 50% reduction. Modifier 50 is inappropriate for this code. Assistant-at-surgery payment and co-surgeons are permitted; team surgery is not.

50728 billing questions
How does 50728 differ from 50727?
Both describe ureter revision, but 50728 is for a complicated revision. The operative report should explain the anatomy, dissection, and reconstruction supporting that level.
Can modifier 50 be used when both ureters are revised?
No. CMS identifies modifier 50 as inappropriate for this code; the code's descriptor or anatomy does not support the bilateral adjustment.
What postoperative care is included in the global period?
The 90-day global period includes the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care.
How are other procedures in the same session paid?
The highest-valued procedure is paid in full, and other procedures are subject to the standard multiple-procedure reduction, with payment at 50%.
Can an assistant or co-surgeon be reported?
Assistant-at-surgery payment may be made, and co-surgeons are permitted. Team surgery is not permitted for this code.
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.
