Wiki Percutaneous Resection of Renal Pelvis Tumor?

[Jessim929]

Hi -

I can not find an actual code for what my doctor wants to do. He wants to do a Percutaneous resection of renal pelvis tumor. (patient has solitary kidney, biopsy already done on tumor) I have queried him for addtional information, because the only resection code I find is via cysto. The other option is ablation codes. It's VA, so using the unlisted code has a snowballs' chance of getting paid.

Does anyone see anything I'm missing?

Thanks!!

Hmm, that must be some kind of specialized procedure. Could it be laproscopic?

There's not even a lap code.
