First Widening of the Female Urethra

Colorado rates for HCPCS 53660

A doctor gradually widens the urethra, the tube that carries urine out of the bladder, by passing smooth dilators of increasing size. A numbing or soothing medicine is placed into the tube as part of the visit. This is the first such treatment in a course of care, with any later sessions handled on their own.
