2025 CPT code 51725

Simple cystometrogram (CMG) using a spinal manometer to measure bladder pressure and capacity.

When multiple procedures are performed in the same session, use modifier 51.If only interpretation of results or operation of equipment is performed, use modifier 26. For provision of chemotherapeutic agents, report both the specific service and code(s) for the specific substance(s) or drug(s).

Modifiers 26 (professional component), 51 (multiple procedures) are applicable.

Medical necessity is established based on the patient's symptoms and clinical presentation suggestive of bladder dysfunction. The test is appropriate when less invasive methods have not provided a definitive diagnosis and further assessment of bladder storage and function is required.

The physician or other qualified healthcare professional performs or directly supervises the procedure, including provision of all necessary instruments and supplies. If only interpretation of results or operation of equipment is performed, modifier 26 should be used.

IMPORTANT:For more complex CMGs using electronic equipment, use CPT code 51726.Additional codes may be necessary depending on other procedures performed during the same session (e.g., 51726-51729 for more complex studies including voiding pressure and urethral pressure profile studies).

In simple words: This test measures bladder pressure and capacity to check how well your bladder works. A small tube is put into your bladder, and it's filled with liquid to see how much it holds and how it responds to pressure. This helps diagnose bladder problems.

A simple cystometrogram (CMG) involves the insertion of a small catheter into the bladder. The bladder is filled using gravity, and bladder capacity and storage pressures are measured using a spinal manometer.This procedure assesses detrusor muscle function, bladder capacity, and detects any abnormal detrusor sphincter contractions.The test does not measure voiding pressures.

Example 1: A patient presents with urinary frequency and urgency. A simple CMG is performed to assess bladder function and rule out overactive bladder., A patient reports urinary incontinence. A simple CMG is performed to determine if the incontinence is due to detrusor overactivity or another cause., A patient with a history of pelvic surgery undergoes a simple CMG to evaluate for potential bladder dysfunction post-operatively.

Detailed patient history, including symptoms, medication list, and relevant past medical history.Procedure note detailing the technique used, measurements obtained, and any observations made during the procedure.Physician interpretation of the results, including correlation with clinical findings.

** This code is for a simple cystometrogram using a spinal manometer.More complex studies involving calibrated electronic equipment are coded differently.
