Hi. Can CPT 52332 Insertion of indwelling ureteral stent be used, if changing a stent even if the approach was via laparoscopic and not cystoscopic? The physician and I are going back and forth. I say No. She says Yes. Help! :confused: Thanks everyone.
 
This would not be a case to use 52332 since it does not describe the approach that the physician used to insert the stent. You are correct and the doctor is wrong :)
