Transplant surgery
About 50365: Kidney allotransplant with recipient nephrectomy
Reports transplantation of a donor kidney when the recipient's native kidney is also removed as part of the transplant operation.
A transplant surgeon uses this code for a donor kidney implanted in a recipient when a recipient nephrectomy is performed as part of the same transplant operation. The service is generally performed in a hospital operating room. The recipient nephrectomy is included in this transplant service; it is not a separate nephrectomy performed independently of the transplant.
Choose this code instead of 50360 when the transplant operation includes removal of the recipient's kidney; 50360 describes the transplant without recipient nephrectomy. The operative report should support the transplant and the recipient nephrectomy performed during that operation. CMS assigns a 90-day global period, including the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care. For multiple procedures in one session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and others at 50%. Modifier 50 pays this bilateral procedure at 150%. Assistant-at-surgery payment, co-surgeons, and team surgery are permitted.
