North Dakota rates for HCPCS 51820

Reconstructs the bladder and its outlet into the urethra, and reattaches one or both ureters — the tubes bringing urine down from the kidneys — into the rebuilt bladder wall.

It is major surgery under general anesthesia, with a catheter in place for a period afterward.
