Has anyone coded a kenalog injection into the bladder with the add of a cystoscope?
 
Kelly, I have a cysto with noted Kenalog injection... I cannot find any codes. Were you able to come up with anything?

Thank you
Lynn
 
cycto w/kenalog

I've used 52283 Cystourethroscopy, with steroid injection into stricture because Kenalog is a steroid.

Hope this helps.

Kenalog is instilled into the bladder, often with heparin and Gentamicin. The installation code would be 51720 in addition to the HCPC drug codes.
 
I would suggest the following coding for your clinical scenario:
51700 for the instillation
J3300 for the steroid
51720 is used for injecting BCG and Mutamycin into the blAdder...anticarcinogenic agents
