Urology in the ASC: CPT Codes and Coverage Reference

Urology is one of the busiest specialties in the ASC, with much endoscopic and minimally invasive work, such as cystoscopy, stone management, and prostate procedures, moving through the outpatient setting on the same day.

Most urology procedures fall in the urinary system CPT range, 50000 to 55899, covering the kidney, ureter, bladder, urethra, and prostate. Common examples include 52000 (cystourethroscopy) and 52601 (TURP). Our dataset maps 495 ASC-relevant CPT codes to urology, so the codes below are a starting point. Whether a specific code suits the ASC setting depends on its ASC-eligibility status, worth confirming before scheduling. Check a code against the current addenda, alongside payer prior authorization and documentation rules, before scheduling a case.

How do I know if a urology code is covered in an ASC?

Eligibility for the ASC setting follows each code's ASC-eligibility status. ASC-eligible codes can be performed in a certified ambulatory surgery center. Ancillary services support those procedures, while some codes are not typically performed in an ASC. Beyond ASC eligibility, individual payers may add prior authorization and documentation requirements. DataLily's procedure library tracks CPT-specific prior authorization and documentation requirements to help teams prepare before the case.
