CPT code 50760 denotes excision of a blocked or injured ureteral segment with reanastomosis of the healthy ureteral ends, a reconstructive urologic procedure used to relieve obstruction or repair injury. Nationally, this code is clinically important because it captures definitive surgical management of ureteral obstruction and iatrogenic or traumatic ureteral injury, procedures that have implications for hospital surgical volumes, perioperative resource use, and specialty reimbursement.

Key payers covered in this analysis include Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna Health, UnitedHealthcare, and Medicare. Readers will find a concise clinical context for the procedure, payer coverage patterns and benchmarks where available, common modifier usage, and coding notes that affect claim adjudication. The publication highlights typical settings for service delivery—hospital inpatient, outpatient surgery, and ambulatory surgery centers—and summarizes how the code relates to broader urologic service lines.

This resource is intended for billing managers, coding professionals, and policy analysts who need a clear overview of CPT code 50760, associated documentation considerations, and areas where payer policy or coding practice can affect billing and reimbursement.
