Good morning.. hoping someone can shed some light on this procedure. Its our first one and we have conflicting codes..
Procedure Name:
Elective Cystoscopy, urolift procedure, button vaporization of the prostate.
Procedure Description:
Pt was taken to the OR and induced under general anesthesia. Pt was repositioned in dorsal lithotomy position and then cystoscopy performed. Cysto revealed 40-50gm prostate w/ trilobar hyperplasia, gr 2 bladder trabeculations. At this time the urolift scope was inserted and the urolift device deployed 5 times: one on each side of the prostate 1-2 cm proximal to the bladder neck, 1 on each side of the lateral lobes just distal to the verumontanum, and then one addition in the right lateral lobe. A nice open channel was created from the verumontanum to the bladder neck. The button vaporization bipolar fulguration was used for hemostasis. The bladder was partially filled and then the scope removed.
Some have 53899, 55899 & 52000 and then we have another with using the 52601 because they found info stating us 52601 also for the bipolar "button" electrode electrical vaporization of the prostate gland.
Any help would be appreciated
Thank you!
