Urologic surgery
About 50782: Ureteral reimplantation with psoas hitch
Reports ureteral reimplantation requiring extensive bladder mobilization, including a psoas hitch, to connect the ureter to the bladder without undue tension.
A urologist uses this code when reconnecting a ureter to the bladder requires extensive bladder mobilization, including hitching the bladder toward the psoas muscle. The added reach can help create a tension-free connection after distal ureteral loss or damage, such as from an injury, stricture, or excision. The operation is generally performed in a hospital or other surgical facility; pediatric urologists may also perform it for selected congenital or reflux-related conditions.
Report the code when the operative work supports this more extensive reimplantation rather than a direct ureter-to-bladder connection. Documentation should identify the indication, affected side, ureteral work, and bladder mobilization or hitch performed. Medicare assigns a 90-day global period, including the day-before preoperative visit and related postoperative care. When multiple procedures are performed in one session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and other procedures are reduced to 50%. For bilateral work, modifier 50 is paid at 150%. Assistant-at-surgery payment and co-surgeons are permitted; team surgery is not permitted.

50782 billing questions
How is 50782 distinguished from 50780?
50782 describes reimplantation requiring extensive bladder dissection, including a psoas hitch. 50780 is the direct ureter-to-bladder anastomosis without that additional extent.
When is a psoas hitch part of the coded service?
Report 50782 when the surgeon mobilizes the bladder and hitches it toward the psoas as part of the extensive ureteral reimplantation. The operative report should describe the added mobilization and reconstruction.
Can the ureteral reimplantation be billed with other procedures?
Other procedures performed in the same session may be separately reportable when supported by the operative work. Medicare applies its multiple procedure reduction: the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and others at 50%.
How is bilateral reimplantation reported?
For bilateral work, report modifier 50; CMS pays the bilateral procedure at 150%.
What postoperative care is included?
The 90-day global period includes the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care.
May an assistant or co-surgeon be reported?
CMS permits payment for an assistant at surgery and permits co-surgeons for this code. Team surgery is not permitted.
