The 33-year-old patient has postoperative diagnosis of left ureteral calculus and presents for a cystoscopy, bilateral retrograde pyelograms, left ureteroscopy, and stone extraction. The patient was cystoscoped using a 21-French instrument. There was no evidence of urethral or bladder abnormality. Bilateral retrograde pyelograms were performed that indicated normal collecting system of the right-hand side. There was only a minimal suggestion of a filling defect in the distal ureter on the left. A guidewire was advanced up the ureter under fluoroscopic control and then a rigid short ureteroscope followed this. A stone was visualized and was entrapped in a basket and withdrawn under visual guidance. What is/are the correct CPT code/codes? (enter only 5 digits for the CPT code. If you need to add modifiers, add a dash “” and 2 numbers or letters. If you need to add multiple codes, separate them with a comma and a space “, “).
