Would you bill both 52601 and 52700 in this scenario? Thanks!
After informed consent was obtained, the patient was taken to the operating room. After successful induction of general anesthesia, a preoperative dose of antibiotics was given. The patient was placed in the dorsal lithotomy position taking care to pad all possible pressure points. A sterile prep and drape was performed in standard fashion. Initially, a 22-French cystoscope was inserted per urethra which showed
no abnormalities. Inspection of the bladder wasdone and there was no evidence of erythematous patches or plaques, foreign bodiesor stones.. The ureteral orifices were identified without difficulty. We then turned ourattention to performing the transurethral resection of the prostate. The 22-Frenchcystoscope was removed without difficulty. A 26-French resectoscope was placedinto the bladder without difficulty.
I made grooves in the lateral lobes of prostate. On the left side I got into a small cavity and small amount of pus was drained. considerable amount of time was spent obtaining hemostasis. There was no evidence of any bleeding. There was no evidence of any injury distal to the verumontanum and the ureters continued to drain clear urine without evidence of any bladder injury. The scope was then removed. A 22-French 3-way catheter was then inserted without any difficulty. The balloon was inflated to 50 mL. CBI was started. The patient tolerated the procedure well
