Staphylococcal infections are usually caused by Staphylococcus aureus. However, the incidence of infections due to Staphylococcus epidermidis and other coagulase-negative staphylococci has also been steadily rising.

However, the incidence of infections due to Staphylococcus epidermidis and other coagulase-negative staphylococci has been steadily increasing in recent years.
A. CCI edits include the code for the removal of the stent, CPTÂ® code 52310, Cystourethroscopy, with removal of foreign body, calculus, or ureteral stent from urethra or bladder (separate procedure); simple and its counterpart CPTÂ® code 52315 complicated into the insertion CPTÂ® code 52332 Cystourethroscopy, with insertion of indwelling ureteral stent (e.g., Gibbons or double-J type).
Now, when you do that code according to the CPT Assistant, you should also bill for the percutaneous access of the renal pelvis. So, you would bill the 50393 replacing the ureteral stent down. And you would also bill for the percutaneous nephrostomy, the 50392.
