I am not a urology coder, but was asked if the two codes could be billed together? I am thinking no, but I would like someone who know urology to take a look and give me their opinion please.
Thank you

There is an NCCI edit for that code pair.

52356 is the Column 1 code, 52344 is the Column 2 code.

A modifier is allowed, when appropriate. The documentation would have to support that those 2 procedures were performed separately.
 
See Chapter 1 of the NCCI Manual for definition of standards of medical/surgical practice, which is the edit for this code pair.
