UCR 234: G2211 Follow-up time frame, coding for graft around the urethral anastomosis during prostatectomy, and radical nephrectomy coding - 50545 and 50548
March 14, 2025
Scott, Mark, and Ray discuss three coding questions from the PRS Community and the Thriving Urology Practice Facebook group.
- My question is regarding G2211. Is there a time frame for the follow-up that needs to be dictated. My doctor has been putting return to clinic in a year in the notes and billing G2211. Wondering if this is ok, or if the follow up must be sooner?
- Our new urologist started placing an amniotic tissue membrane graft around the urethral anastomosis during a laparoscopic robotic radical prostatectomy. Would this be included in the 55866 or is there a CPT code for this? I was looking at 15275 but not sure if that is correct either. I am a coder with questions.
- Would you be so kind to give me your opinion on 50548 for robotic radical nephroureterectomy versus using 50545 for that surgery?
