Good afternoon. Can a MIGS surgeon bill for Uterolysis, or is this procedure limited to the Urologist and UROGYN?
 
I don't believe it's limited - however, most of the time it would be bundled, assuming there is another procedure happening.
 
A physician can bill for any procedure they have performed. The hospital determines during credentialing what procedures they are allowed to perform based on their training and skills. MIGS is not an actual subspecialty certification, but obgyns with MIGS training may be permitted to perform more complex laparoscopic procedures than those without.
I see ureterolysis being performed all the time by urogyn as well as general obgyn and gynonc. However, as @Cmama12 pointed out, if the surgeon is performing another procedure, it will likely be bundled. Additionally, I'm assuming since you mentioned MIGS that this was laparoscopic ureterolysis, which has no CPT code.
