About 54230: Cavernosography contrast injection
Report this procedure for intracavernosal contrast injection during cavernosography to evaluate corporal venous drainage, including suspected erectile dysfunction from venous leakage.
Code 54230 represents the intracavernosal contrast injection used for cavernosography, an imaging study of the penile corpora and their venous drainage. It is used in diagnostic evaluation of erectile dysfunction when a clinician is investigating possible veno-occlusive dysfunction. A urologist typically performs the injection in coordination with the imaging needed to visualize contrast flow.
Report the procedure when the contrast injection for cavernosography is performed, and document the indication and procedure. Distinguish it from dynamic cavernosometry, which assesses cavernosal pressure and flow. CMS assigns a 0-day global period, so same-day preoperative and postoperative care is included. When multiple procedures are performed in the same session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and the others at 50%. Modifier 50 is inappropriate for this code. Medicare does not pay an assistant at surgery for it; co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.

54230 billing questions
How is 54230 different from 54231?
54230 covers the contrast injection for cavernosography. Code 54231 describes dynamic cavernosometry, which measures cavernosal pressure and flow.
Can 54230 and 54231 be reported together?
They represent distinct diagnostic services and may be performed during the same evaluation. Report each only when its respective service is performed and documented.
Is 54230 the same as an intracavernosal drug injection?
No. The injection for 54230 is used for contrast imaging; 54235 describes injection of a pharmacologic agent into the corpora cavernosa.
Should modifier 50 be appended for both corpora?
No. The CMS bilateral adjustment is not appropriate for 54230; the code's descriptor or anatomy makes modifier 50 inappropriate.
What same-day care is included?
The 0-day global period includes same-day preoperative and postoperative care. If other procedures are performed in the same session, the standard multiple procedure reduction applies.
