Wiki Light ureteral catheters included??

[KaylaRieken]

When a physician does a cysto and inserts lighted ureteral catheters (52005) during a laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy (57425), would that be included in the procedure and not separately billable? The coder before be used to bill it with a 59 but I am not sure if that is appropriate.

I'd code it. Mod 59 not needed with 57425. Did a quick search, nothing official on not to use 52005.
