Endoscopic procedure with resection or incision of the bladder neck in a male patient. This procedure is performed in conjunction with a primary diagnostic cystoscopy, such as `Z606 or Z607`. This code represents the surgical component of the procedure.

When to Use

Use E787 for the surgical resection or incision of the bladder neck in male patients performed during an endoscopic procedure.
Always bill E787 in combination with a primary cystoscopy code, such as Z606 (diagnostic) or Z607 (repeat), to ensure the claim is processed correctly.
Select E787 when the primary intent of the endoscopic intervention is specifically to address bladder neck obstruction or stenosis.

Common Pitfalls

Billing E787 as a standalone procedure without an accompanying cystoscopy code (Z606/Z607) will result in automatic rejection.
Attempting to bill E787 for female patients is a billing error, as this code is strictly restricted to male patients.
Failing to document the specific surgical technique (resection vs. incision) can lead to audit scrutiny regarding the appropriateness of the procedure code.

Billing Tips

Ensure the primary cystoscopy code is listed first on the claim to establish the surgical setting, followed by E787 as the secondary procedure.
Verify that any applicable age-based premiums or after-hours premiums (E409/E410) are applied to the total procedural fee to maximize reimbursement.
