CPT code 50947 defines laparoscopic ureteral reimplantation into the bladder, a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to correct ureteral injury, strictures, or obstruction. This procedure combines laparoscopic access with cystoscopic or endoscopic examination of the bladder and lower urinary tract and typically includes placement of a ureteral stent. Nationally, the code matters for hospitals, ambulatory surgical centers, and payers because it captures a complex urologic reconstructive service that has implications for site-of-service planning, surgical resource allocation, and post-operative care pathways.

Key payers covered in this analysis include Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna Health, UnitedHealthcare, and Medicare.
