CPT code 50728 identifies a surgical revision of a previously created urostomy with concurrent repair of fascial defects or hernias adjacent to the urinary anastomosis. This procedure is clinically significant for patients with complications such as stoma malfunction, peristomal hernia, or fascial disruption that impair urinary diversion or wound integrity. Nationally, accurate coding of urostomy revision procedures affects surgical quality measurement, claims processing, and resource allocation for complex post-urostomy care. Key payers relevant to coverage and reimbursement for this service include Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna Health, UnitedHealthcare, and Medicare.

Readers will find a concise overview of the clinical intent of the code, typical sites of service, and the service type. The publication outlines common billing contexts and discusses benchmarks and policy considerations that influence coding and payment for complex urostomy management. It also highlights clinical context for why revisions and hernia repairs are performed and notes where input data was not provided. Data not available in the input is identified where applicable.
