TPT for ureteroscopes will remain in effect until 12/31/2025.
aScope 5 Uretero HCPCS CPT Code
C1747 — Endoscope, single-use (i.e. disposable), urinary tract, imaging/illumination device (insertable)
C1747 must be included on the claim to receive TPT payment. This prompts additional reimbursement for Medicare FFS outpatient procedures performed with the aScope Uretero.
All facilities will continue to code and submit charges as they normally would, but will just need to add C1747 to the claim.
