Unlisted Keyhole Kidney Procedure

Nationwide rates for HCPCS 50549

Covers an operation on the kidney performed through small abdominal incisions with a camera, when the specific operation has no standard named entry of its own. Working through small openings generally means less pain and a faster return to normal activity than open surgery. The provider submits a written description of what was actually done.
