Transplant surgery
About 50360: Renal allotransplant without nephrectomy
Reports implantation of a donor kidney into a recipient when the transplant operation does not include removal of a recipient kidney.
A transplant surgeon implants a donor kidney into a recipient, connecting its blood vessels to the recipient’s circulation and establishing urinary drainage, commonly by connecting the ureter to the bladder. The operation takes place in an operating room, usually in a hospital. This code describes transplantation without removal of a recipient kidney as part of the operation; it is not the code for transplanting a patient’s own kidney.
Select this service when the operative report supports donor-kidney implantation and confirms that recipient nephrectomy was not performed. The 90-day global period includes the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care. When other procedures are performed in the same session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and other procedures are subject to the standard multiple-procedure reduction. Modifier 50 is inappropriate. An assistant at surgery may be paid, and co-surgeons and team surgery are permitted when their respective requirements are met.

50360 billing questions
How does this differ from 50365?
50360 is for donor-kidney implantation without recipient nephrectomy. Use 50365 when the transplant operation also includes recipient nephrectomy.
Can donor-kidney preparation be reported separately?
Backbench preparation is described by separate codes, including 50323 for a cadaver donor renal allograft and 50325 for donor graft preparation. Report the applicable preparation service when it was performed and documented.
Does the 90-day global period include transplant follow-up?
It includes the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care. The operative report and follow-up documentation should support the relationship to the transplant.
Should modifier 50 be used for a kidney transplant?
No. CMS identifies bilateral adjustment as inappropriate for this code.
Can an assistant or co-surgeon be reported?
An assistant at surgery may be paid. Co-surgeons and team surgery are also permitted when applicable requirements are met.
How does the multiple-procedure rule affect payment?
For procedures 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.
