Urologic surgery

About 54417: Penile prosthesis component replacement

Removal and replacement of a penile prosthesis component during one operation, such as when a pump, cylinder, or reservoir requires replacement.

A urologist reports this service when an implanted penile prosthesis component is removed and replaced during the same operation. The clinical situation may involve a malfunctioning or damaged pump, cylinder, or reservoir while other parts of the prosthesis remain in place. These procedures are generally performed in an operating room or other surgical facility; Medicare recorded facility services for this code in 2024.

The operative report should identify the component removed and the replacement component, describe the reason for the procedure, and clarify whether other prosthesis components were retained. This code represents component replacement, not removal and replacement of the complete device or repair without component replacement. Medicare assigns a 90-day global period, including the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care. When multiple 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. Assistant-at-surgery payment may be available; co-surgeon payment requires supporting documentation, and team surgery is not permitted.

54417 billing questions

When should this code be chosen instead of 54410?

Use this code when a prosthesis component is removed and replaced while the procedure does not replace the complete multi-component device. Code 54410 describes removal and replacement of the complete device.

How does this differ from repair code 54408?

This code describes removing and replacing a component. Code 54408 is for repair of a multi-component inflatable prosthesis rather than replacement of a component.

What operative documentation supports this code?

Document the clinical problem, the specific component removed, the component put in its place, and which other components were retained. The operative note should make clear that removal and replacement occurred during the same operation.

Can modifier 50 be used for bilateral reporting?

No. CMS identifies bilateral adjustment as inappropriate for this code; modifier 50 should not be used.

Does the code include postoperative care?

Yes. Medicare assigns a 90-day global period that includes the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care.

How are other procedures in the same session paid?

Under the standard multiple procedure reduction, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and other procedures are paid at 50% when performed in the same session.
