About 54660: Testicular surgical revision
Reports operative revision of the testis when a surgeon corrects or alters a prior testicular surgical result rather than performing a primary fixation or injury repair.
This code describes an operation to revise the testis after an earlier procedure or other change requiring surgical correction. A urologist typically performs the work in a hospital or ambulatory surgical setting. The operative report should identify the testis involved, the reason for revision, the prior condition or procedure being addressed, and the corrective work performed. The specific revision should be clear from the documented operative steps.
Select this code for revision work, not simply because a patient has a history of testicular surgery. Report a more specific procedure when the operative service is instead torsion reduction, fixation or orchiopexy, or repair of an acute testicular injury. CMS assigns a 90-day global period, including the day-before preoperative visit and related postoperative care. When multiple procedures occur in the same session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and the others at 50%. Bilateral reporting with modifier 50 is paid at 150%. Assistant-at-surgery payment requires documented medical necessity; co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.

54660 billing questions
How is revision different from orchiopexy?
Use this code for revision work on the testis. When the documented service is fixation of a testis or correction of an undescended testis by orchiopexy, consider the corresponding fixation or orchiopexy code instead.
Does the 90-day global period include related follow-up?
Yes. CMS includes the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care in the global period.
How are multiple procedures in the same session paid?
The highest-valued procedure is paid in full, and other procedures in the same session are subject to the standard multiple procedure reduction, with payment at 50%.
Can modifier 50 be used for bilateral revision?
CMS identifies this as a bilateral procedure; reporting with modifier 50 is paid at 150%. The operative record should support work on both sides.
What documentation supports reporting this code?
Document the reason for revision, the prior condition or procedure being addressed, the side or sides treated, and the specific operative work performed.
Can an assistant surgeon or co-surgeon be reported?
Assistant-at-surgery payment requires documentation of medical necessity. CMS does not permit co-surgeons or team surgery for this code.
