Urologic surgery
About 50760: Ureter-to-ureter surgical anastomosis
Ureteroureterostomy reconnects separated or resected ureteral ends and is reported when the surgeon restores continuity between segments of the same ureter.
A urologist performs ureteroureterostomy to join healthy ends of the same ureter, commonly after removing a short diseased or injured segment or repairing a ureteral injury. The reconstruction may be needed for a stricture or damage that leaves a gap not suitable for direct repair. The operation is generally performed in a surgical facility; it is not an office-based ureteral procedure. The defining feature is an anastomosis between ureteral segments, rather than an attachment to the bladder or renal pelvis.
Report the procedure when the operative documentation supports reconnection of ureteral ends. The record should identify the affected ureter, the reason for reconstruction, the segments joined, and any additional procedures performed in the same session. This major surgery has a 90-day global period, including the day-before preoperative visit and related postoperative care through day 90. When multiple procedures are performed in one session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and the others at 50%. Bilateral reporting with modifier 50 is paid at 150%. An assistant at surgery may be paid; co-surgeon payment requires supporting documentation, and team surgery is not permitted.

50760 billing questions
How is 50760 different from ureteral reimplantation?
50760 joins ureteral segments to each other. Ureteral reimplantation, such as 50780, connects the ureter to the bladder.
When is 50760 preferable to ureteroplasty?
Report 50760 when the repair creates an anastomosis between ureteral ends. Ureteroplasty, 50700, describes a plastic repair of the ureter rather than that ureter-to-ureter connection.
What documentation supports 50760?
The operative report should establish that the surgeon joined segments of the same ureter and explain the defect or condition requiring reconstruction. It should also identify the side and any separately performed procedures.
Can 50760 be reported bilaterally?
Yes. The CMS bilateral rule specifies modifier 50, with payment at 150%.
How does the 90-day global period affect postoperative visits?
The day-before preoperative visit and related postoperative care through day 90 are included in the global period.
Can an assistant or co-surgeon be paid for 50760?
An assistant at surgery may be paid. Co-surgeon payment requires supporting documentation; team surgery is not permitted.
