52005 typically bundles with most cystoscopic procedures. I agree with your co-worker, 52351 and 74420-26 would be the correct coding. 52005 would be billable by itself with the urologist inserts a catheter and injects contrast to evaulate the system (perhaps for a ureteropelvic junction obstruction or for a kidney stone).
Hope that helps.
