Hi,
I'm looking for some input on a lithotripsy procedure. The Doctor's Dx was a
calculus of the ureter, and he performed a lithotripsy on a stone in the ureter,
I thought the code should be 52353, but the office mangager thinks it should be 50590. Would love to hear other opinions on this as I am new to coding urology.
Thanks in advance for all responses.
 
Lithotripsy

What kind of tool was used to provide the lithotripsy? Did the doctor provide this service with a cystourethroscope? Then 52353 would be the answer. If the doctor provided the service using shockwaves, then 50590 would be the answer. So, it depends on the approach.
