Answer 1

The urinary system consists of 2 kidneys, 1 bladder, 2 ureters, and 1 urethra. It starts in the kidney, the kidney carries urine and passes through the ureters and collected into the bladder. Kidney the term we can use as Renal or nephr, bladder as cysto and vesico. After entering into the bladder it goes to the urethra and our body leaves the urine out.
During billing and coding prostate procedures mostly associated with the urethra. the urinary system involves prostate surgery codes. We can involve a urinary system for many procedure codes like a renal biopsy, catheter procedure, kidney stone removal, kidney transplant, removal of the kidney, etc... The urinary system subsection involves the number of procedures performed by health care professionals and medical professionals. Use 26 modifiers if only medical professional interprets for the procedure.
