Transurethral resection of a medium-size (3.0 cm) bladder tumor was
performed in an outpatient setting. What CPT® code is reported for this
service? - ✔✔D. 52235
Rationale:
Rationale: Transurethral resection of bladder tumors are coded by the
size of the tumor; less than 0.5 cm (52224), 0.5 cm- up to 2.0 cm
(52234), 2.0 cm up to 5.0 cm (52235), 5.0 cm or larger (52240). In the
CPT® Index see Resection/Tumor/Bladder or Tumor/Bladder.
,Left ureteral stent placement and Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy
or Lithotripsy (ESWL) of the left kidney are performed. What CPT®
code(s) is/are reported for this service? - ✔✔D. 50590-LT, 52332-51-LT
Rationale:
Two procedures are performed. CPT® 52353 describes laser lithotripsy
and does not include ESWL. CPT® 52332 describes the stent placement,
but does not include the ESWL. CPT® 50590 describes the ESWL but not
the placement of the stent. CPT® 50590 and 52332 describe both
procedures performed. Modifier LT is appended to 50590 to indicate
the lithotripsy was performed on the left kidney. Modifiers 51 and LT
are appended to code 52332 to indicate more than one procedure was
performed on the left side. Look in the CPT® Index for
Lithotripsy/Kidney and Insertion/Stent/Ureteral.
What is the correct CPT® code for a percutaneous pyelostolithotomy
with dilation and basket extraction measuring 1 cm? - ✔✔A. 50080
, Rationale:
Pyelostolithotomy/Percutaneous in the CPT® Index refers you to code
range 50080-50081. Code selection is based on the size of the kidney
stone (calculus). Code 50080 is a percutaneous nephrostolithotomy or
pyelostolithotomy, with or without dilation, endoscopy, lithotripsy,
stenting, or basket extraction; up to 2 cm.
What are the reproductive glands that produce male hormones? -
