I just want to make sure this is correct coding.
Patient had a TURP 65 days ago. Came back and had what the doctor dictates as a "Greenlight laser" for hematuria. The dictation reads like this:
"#25 French continuous flow resectoscope was inserted through the mid urethra and past a well resected prostate into the bladder. There was no evidence of stone or tumor and the orifices were normal. No active bleeding was noted in the prostate or bladder currently. A small strand of tissue was seen hanging off of the left sidewall of the prostate into the lumen so this was treated with laser. The entire surface of the prostatic urethra was then treated using the coag setting on the laser."
I'm thinking this is a 52647 with modifier 58.
Yes?
