Introduction<\/h2>\n

The world of medical billing can be complex, and urology is no exception. The good news is that staying informed about the latest Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) code updates can help ensure your practice receives proper reimbursement for services rendered. This article explores some of the key changes in urology CPT codes for 2024, empowering you to navigate the billing landscape with confidence.<\/p>\n

Focus on Emerging Technologies<\/h2>\n

Remote Urology Monitoring<\/h3>\n

The use of remote patient monitoring (RPM) for urological conditions is increasing. The 2024 CPT manual introduces new codes (0811T and 0812T) specifically for complex uroflowmetry performed remotely. These codes differentiate between educating the patient on equipment use (0811T) and device supply with report generation (0812T). Note that, these codes shouldn’t be reported with existing uroflow codes (51736 or 51741) or remote patient monitoring codes (99453 and 99454).<\/p>\n

Addressing Erectile Dysfunction<\/h2>\n

Low-Intensity Shockwave Therapy (LISWT)<\/h3>\n

This minimally invasive treatment for erectile dysfunction now has its own code (0864T). This signifies the growing recognition of LISWT as a viable treatment option.<\/p>\n

Optimizing Existing Procedures<\/h2>\n

Sacral Nerve Stimulation (SNS)<\/h3>\n

The existing CPT codes for SNS procedures (64590 and 64595) have received updated Relative Value Units (RVUs), reflecting their resource intensity. Additionally, new Category I codes (64596, 64597, and 64598) have been introduced for integrated peripheral nerve stimulation procedures. These changes highlight the evolving landscape of neuromodulation therapies in urology.<\/p>\n

Partnering for Success<\/h2>\n

By staying informed about new urology codes, you can ensure your practice receives accurate reimbursement for the valuable services you provide. Consider partnering with a medical billing company<\/a> such as Medisys Data who has expertise in urology coding to navigate the complexities and optimize your billing processes.<\/p>\n
