The basics

What are urology billing services?

Urology billing services manage the revenue cycle of a urology practice: office procedures, drug administration for prostate and bladder cancer, surgery and ASC claims, imaging, urodynamics and in-house lab, payment posting, denials and AR. In urology the drug lines carry a large share of revenue, and a wrong unit count or a lapsed authorization costs the most.

Surgery

Pricing

How urology billing is priced

One rate of 2.8% to 5% of net collections, quoted in writing before you sign. Where you land depends on monthly collections, specialty mix, the scope of services, and your AR backlog and payer mix.

The rate covers medical coding, claim submission, payment posting, denials and AR follow-up. Front desk services, prior authorization, the reporting dashboard, patient statements, credentialing and digital marketing are quoted separately.

Urology billing questions

What do urology billing services include?

How is Lupron or Eligard billed?

Both are billed with J9217 per 7.5 mg: a 22.5 mg three-month dose is 3 units and a 45 mg six-month dose is 6 units, with administration code 96402, diagnosis C61 and JZ when nothing is discarded. Camcevi has its own code, J1952, billed per 1 mg.

How is a cystoscopy billed with other procedures?

Diagnostic cystoscopy (52000) is included when a more extensive cystoscopic procedure is done the same session, such as stent placement or biopsy. We code the most complete procedure and only add what the NCCI rules allow.

BCG is billed per instillation with J9030 and the bladder instillation code 51720, with each treatment in the induction and maintenance schedule documented.

Do you bill urology procedures done in an ASC?

Yes. Lithotripsy, ureteroscopy, TURP and other procedures done in an ASC are billed on both the surgeon and facility side. See our ASC billing services.
