Wiki Percutaneous Cystolitholapaxy

[KaylaRieken]

Has anyone coded one of these before? Guess I am wondering if the codes are 52317/52318 and 51040?

Depending on the op note, I believe you are correct on this code selection. In my office we had a similar case that we sent to the AUA coding hotline. In our case they recommended 51525 and 52317. In this instance the stone was actually located in a bladder diverticulum that was accessed percutaneously.

Hope this helps.

I actually sent my op note into the AUA coding hotline. They recommended me using CPT code 51065.
