You can use CPT code 52317 or 52318 for complicated or large stones(over 2.5cm)

the procedure performed is litholapaxy.....the anatomical site is cysto

Cysto-Litholapaxy

The code you are looking for is under Litholapaxy, 52317 if it is greater than 2.5 cm then bill 52318.

The code says >< 2.5 cm. If you have 3 stones is it the total of all three stones or one stone should be greater than 2.5cm to use 52318?
