Hi I am just wondering which is the correct code 52005 or 52310? :(

Procedure: Cystoscopy
Rt Retrograde pyelogram
Rt Ureteral Stent Removal

..."a 22-French cystoscope with a 30-degree lens was assembled and introduced to the urethral meatus..the urinary bladder was entered and drained. cystoscopic examination of the urinary bladder demostrated no tumors,diverticula,trabeculations or calculi. the rt ureteral stent was noted to be in place at this poin the Rt ureteral stent was grasped with grasping forcepts at the proximal level of the urethral meatus.."

Thanks
Patti
 
help :-)

Hello,

I work on the ASC side.

52005 only per CCI

and/or may introduce contrast medium for radiologic study of the renal pelvis and ureter (ureteropyelogram, retrograde pyelogram)

may be able to bill 74420 (26 modifier). Check your documentation and carrier.
 
The only service I see documented from what is posted is 52310. I don't see contrast injection and results of what was found on the pyelogram.
