Cpt Code For Bilateral Ureteral Stents

For example, CPT® code 52332 can be billed in addition to CPT® codes 52320

-23440, 52334-52352, 52354, 52355 (consider appending modifier 51 if needed). For bilateral insertion of ureteral stents, append modifier 50. CPT® code 52332 is included in CPT® code 52356 and should not be reported separately.

Due to this wording, CPT code 52310 would be billed once even for bilateral

ureteral stent removal, and no modifier should be used in an attempt to bypass the edit.

CPT Code 52005 has a zero in the bilateral field (payment adjustment for bil

ateral procedure does not apply) because the basic procedure is an examination of the bladder and urethra (cystourethroscopy), which are not paired organs. The work RVUs assigned take into account that it may be necessary to examine and catheterize one or both ureters.

Nephrostogram is bundled with the new nephrostomy catheter, nephroureteral c

atheter, and ureteral stent placement codes. The nephrostogram codes may be used as a base code for codes +50606, +50705, and +50706, but only if a catheter is not placed, replaced, or converted. Example: A patient has an existing nephrostomy catheter.

a blockage that prevents the flow of urine from the kidney to the bladder. The most common reason for ureteral stents is the treatment of kidney stones. Below are the answers to some of the questions we receive about ureteral stents.

A ureteral stent is a thin, flexible tube threaded into the ureter. When it

is not possible to insert a ureteral stent, a nephrostomy is performed. During this procedure, a tube is placed through the skin on the patient's back into the kidney. The tube is connected to an external drainage bag or from the kidney to the bladder for internal drainage.

The insertion of an indwelling stent, described by CPT® Code 52332 Cystoure

throscopy, with insertion of indwelling ureteral stent (eg, Gibbons or double-J type), typically requires a guidewire to position the stent so that one end remains in the kidney, the body is across the ureter, and the other end is in the bladder

At our institution, lighted stents cost approximately $1500/stent, while sta

ndard stents are $100/stent and ICG $508 /vial resulting in $254/injection. Conclusion: The use of ICG injected ureteral stents is a novel technique for intraoperative ureteral identification that is safe, effective, with time and cost saving benefits.

Results: Robotic ureteral reimplantation with psoas hitch and Boari flap are

You are correct that CPT code 52310 (cystourethroscopy, with removal of fore

ign body, calculus, or ureteral stent from urethra or bladder [separate procedure]; simple) is bundled to CPT code 52353 (cystourethroscopy, with ureteroscopy and/or pyeloscopy; with lithotripsy), so it cannot be billed separately.

Four patients suffered from anuria, 2 required renal support needing hemodia

lysis for 3 to 6 days, 3 (75%) had bilateral stents, and 1 (25%) had a unilateral stent. Conclusions: We recommend the placement of lighted ureteral stents as a valuable adjunct to laparoscopic colectomy to safeguard ureteral integrity.

The presence of these stents probably helped diminish the potential for comp

lications during subsequent nephrostomy tube insertion. Patients having undergone pelvic exenteration with urinary diversion can present with short- and long-term complications such as ureteral strictures, anastomotic leakage, calculi, or fluid collections (abscess ...

Ureteral Injury: Despite precautionary measures, the ureter may be injured f

rom the wire, the stent, or the catheter. If a stent can be placed, that is all that is necessary in the event of ureteral injury. The injury usually heals on its own. If the stent cannot be placed, the choices are observation or placement of another type of drainage.
