Wondering if anyone is coding cystourethroscopy procedures that have the alternative crosswalk choice of 00862, such as CPT codes 52332 or 52356. This is coming up in discussion, due to
00862 is given in as a choice in the crosswalk but when you read the RVG Comment under 00862, it states, "For anesthesia for transurethral cystoscopic procedures, see codes 00910 through 00918"
 
00862 Is for extraperitoneal procedures not transurethral. "Anesthesia for extraperitoneal procedures in lower abdomen, including urinary tract; renal procedures, including upper one-third of ureter, or donor nephrectomy"
 
I have been wondering the same thing. So, transurethral procedures such as 52356 or 52332 will still use crosswalk codes 00910 - 00918?

Yes, per the crosswalk the primary code is 00910 or 00918 but the alternate code choice is 00862 for both CPT codes. Seems the codes are in a loop because if you want to select 00862 from the crosswalk and then refer to the RVG for 00862 it states to code 00910 and 00918 for transurethral procedures.
