About 54416: Semi-rigid penile prosthesis replacement
Urologists report this service when they remove and replace a non-inflatable, semi-rigid penile prosthesis during the same operative session.
A urologist removes an existing semi-rigid penile implant and places a replacement during the same operation. These devices use bendable rods rather than an inflatable pump system and are used to treat erectile dysfunction. The procedure is generally performed in a hospital or ambulatory surgery setting when the implanted device needs replacement, such as because of malfunction or another clinical concern.
Report this code for the same-session removal and replacement of a non-inflatable device; the operative report should identify the prosthesis type and document both removal and replacement. Extensive urethral or bladder repair points to the more complex related code, 54417. Medicare assigns a 90-day global period, including the day-before preoperative visit and related postoperative care. When multiple procedures occur in one session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and other procedures are subject to the standard 50% reduction. Modifier 50 is inappropriate. Assistant-at-surgery payment may be available; co-surgeon payment requires supporting documentation, and team surgery is not permitted.
