2000年3月1日 · The endoscope is inserted to perform the pyelography; the scope, catheterization, and pyelography are all included in 52005.

Kent, CMM, president of Kent Medical Management in ...

2017年2月8日 · If physician completes cystourethroscopy, with insertion of indwelling ureteral stent w/ retrograde pyelogram. 52332 would be used for the stent exchange. 52005 is included in 52332. 52005 may be unbundled from 52332 if you can justify the use of an appropriate modifier. If you are unable to justify the use of a modifier, you may only bill 52332.

2008年9月23日 · I need some help on coding a cystoscopy, right retrograde pyelogram, ureteroscopy w/stone extraction, & insertion of ureteral stent all in the same procedure. I have codes 52332 & 52352 for the stent & ureteroscopy w/stone removal. But I'm unsure on whether to use CPT 74420 for the Retrograde Pyelogram or CPT 52005.

2017年12月12日 · While this may seem counter-intuitive, the procedure is technically categorized as a bladder procedure, not a procedure on the ureters. Regardless if the retrograde pyelogram is unilateral or bilateral, you should only report one unit of 52005 (with no modifier) along with the 74420 or 74420-26 as appropriate.

2020年11月13日 · This may be your issue. However since 52005 and 52332 are bundled (I'm assuming your physician placed a stent and this was not a type-o) you should be able to bill the 52332, 74420-26. As long as your Dr. dictated the pyelography, you should be able to appeal. If they did not I would only bill for the 52332 or if no stent was placed 52005.

2008年4月12日 · Don't forget: The descriptor of 50955 includes performance of the retrograde pyelogram, but if the urologist interpreted the retrograde pyelogram and documented his readings in the medical records, you should also report 74420 (Urography, retrograde, with or …
