Wiki 52352

[nc_coder]

The physician wants to bill 52352 x12 for 12 stones extracted from the renal pelvis. I am thinking 52352 once with a 22 modifier. As the ureteral access sheath was removed, there was another stone removed within the ureter in the same fashion. Would this be included?

Check with the NCCI Policy Manual. Use the search feature and look for 52353. While that is not the same code, it is in the same family.
