Wiki cpt 52352, 52332

[cynthiaj54]

Please help- I am getting a denial for billing 52352 and 52332. They don't want to pay for 52332 (stent placement). I am unsure whether a 59 modifier is appropriate on the 52332. There on no CCI edits on these two procedures.
Thanks for any help.

Could you explain the situation a little better? Why was the stent placed? Was it placed in the same ureter the stone was removed from?
