Replacement Of A Urine Drainage Tube

South Carolina rates for HCPCS 50688

For a person who has a surgically created opening that diverts urine to the outside of the body, such as after bladder removal, this procedure exchanges the tube or stent that keeps a ureter draining properly through that opening. Over time, these tubes can become blocked, worn, or dislodged and need to be swapped out for a new one. It's typically a routine, relatively quick procedure done without a new incision.
