Urology Laboratory Billing
Urology is a specialty facing some of the most challenges against the declining Medicare reimbursement rates. In fact, Urology tests specifically dropped by an average of 19% following the 3-year period.
Whether you’re billing Medicare for a non-screening PSA or advanced prostate cancer immunotherapy, or expending too much labor and costs with in-house billing, partnering with a laboratory revenue cycle management company can help maximize every reimbursement so your Urology lab remains profitable.

Does More For Your Urology Laboratory Billing
Unique Requirements for Successful Urology Laboratory Billing
Urology laboratory billing notably relies on correct and accurate use of CPT, ICD-10, and modifier codes. Without proper experience in urology coding, labs spend more costs and time correcting denials than receiving reimbursement. Some of these coding complexities include:
- Labs must use modifier 59 when billing for two urology services in one claim
- Labs should not report 51701-51703 in addition to any other procedure that includes catheter insertion as a component
- LCD guidelines require the use of proper ICD-10 codes for surgeries such as neoplasm, endocrine, nutritional diseases and more
Outsourcing your urology lab billing to a laboratory-focused revenue cycle management partner will alleviate your urology lab from expenses on labor and training by equipping you with a team of billers proficient in laboratory coding requirements so you receive more reimbursements and less denials.
