About 50783: Ureteral reimplantation with bladder flap

Reports ureteral reimplantation requiring extensive ureteral tailoring and a bladder flap, commonly to reconstruct a distal ureteral defect.

A urologist reconnects a ureter to the bladder after reconstructing the ureter and creating a bladder flap to bridge the distance. This open reconstructive operation may be used for a significant distal ureteral defect or stricture when the remaining ureter cannot reach the bladder without additional reconstruction. It is performed in an operating room, generally in a hospital facility.

Report this code when the operative note supports both extensive ureteral tailoring and bladder-flap reconstruction, not simply a routine ureter-to-bladder connection. Document the affected side, the ureteral defect or disease, and the reconstructive steps. The 90-day global period includes the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care. For bilateral work, modifier 50 is paid at 150%. In a same-session multiple-procedure claim, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and other procedures at 50%. Assistant-at-surgery payment may be made, and co-surgeons are permitted; team-surgery payment is not permitted.

50783 billing questions

When should this code be chosen over 50780?

Use 50783 when the operative report documents extensive ureteral tailoring and bladder-flap reconstruction. A straightforward reimplantation without those added reconstructive steps points to 50780.

How does this differ from 50782?

Both involve more than a routine reimplantation, but 50783 is distinguished by bladder-flap reconstruction along with extensive ureteral tailoring. Select based on the documented technique.

Can both ureters be reported?

For bilateral surgery, CMS identifies modifier 50 and pays the bilateral procedure at 150%. The operative documentation should establish that the qualifying reconstruction was performed on both sides.

Are related postoperative visits separately reported?

The 90-day global period includes related postoperative care for 90 days and the day-before preoperative visit. The reimplantation and its integral operative work are represented by the surgical service.

Can an assistant or co-surgeon be reported?

Assistant-at-surgery payment may be made, and co-surgeons are permitted. CMS does not permit team-surgery payment for this code.
