Calculus of ureter. Stones in the ureter that are formed in the kidney. They are rarely more than 5 mm in diameter for larger renal stones cannot enter ureters. They are often lodged at the ureteral narrowing and can cause excruciating renal colic.
In my office we use code z96.0 for the stent itself and z46.6 if its being changed or removed. Just in case anyone wants to know, I found my print out from a Webinar from 2016 given by Dr Michael Ferragomo Urology Coding & Reimbursement Consultant. Who also writes articles for Urology Coding Alert.

A ureteric stent (also called a J-J stent or double-J stent) is a thin, flexible plastic tube which is curled at both ends to avoid damaging the kidney and urinary bladder and to prevent it from dislocating. The stent is placed so that its upper end is in the kidney and its lower end is in the urinary bladder.

To remove the stent during a procedure, your provider: Inserts a cystoscope through the urethra and into the bladder. Uses tiny clamps attached to the cystoscope to grab onto the stent. Gently removes the stent.
CPT code 52310 describes the work of removing an indwelling ureteral stent by cystoscopy, when the stent is visualized and then grasped using a grasping instrument to remove the stent. This procedure can be performed in the office, ambulatory surgical, or hospital setting.
Under a general anaesthetic, a cystoscopy is performed and under X-ray guidance, contrast is inserted into the ureter giving a picture of the drainage system of the kidney and ureter. A flexible, silicone stent is then inserted internally, with an end in the kidney and the other in the bladder.
They'll use the cystoscope to find the opening where your ureter connects to your bladder. Once they can see this opening, your healthcare provider will thread a ureteral stent through the cystoscope and into your ureter. After the stent is in place, the cystoscope will be removed.

In this part, the ICD-10-PCS procedure codes are presented. For FY2021 ICD-10-PCS there are 78,115 total codes (FY2020 total was 77,571); 556 new codes (734 new last year in FY2020)…
In this series we will explore the CPT changes for FY2021 and include examples to help the coder understand the new codes. For 2021 in general, there were 199 new CPT codes added, 54 deleted and 69 revised.
In January, new CPT codes were released. There were 248 new CPT codes added, 71 deleted and 75 revised. Most of the surgery section changes were in the musculoskeletal and cardiovascular subsections. These included procedures such as skin grafting, breast biopsies, deep drug delivery systems, tricuspid valve repairs, aortic grafts and repair of iliac artery.
CMS released the IPPS proposed rule on 4/27/21 outlining the proposed changes to the Inpatient Prospective Payment System for FY2022, which begins October 1, 2021. Later this year, sometime in August, CMS will release the Final Rule.
In June CMS released the final ICD-10-PCS codes for FY2022, which begins October 1, 2021. We are giving you a sneak peek at the changes. HIA will have a full educational module on these changes available later this summer.
A coronary artery endarterectomy is not always performed during a CABG procedure, so when it is performed it becomes confusing as to whether to code it separately or not.
