Another stent removal code would be 52310 , which is the removal of an indwelling stent using the cystoscope.
52310 is the correct code for Cysto Stent Removal after 52332. 52310 is usually done by the physician. In our state a nurse or even a CRNP cannot bill for this procedure.#N#If the Nurse removes the stent via a string then it is only a Nurse visit code 99211#N#Debbie Sommers, CPC, CUC
More than likely, the LNP did not do either of these procedures, but simply removed the stent by pulling on a string that is left on after placement of a stent. If this is the case, then the stent removal is not separately billable and should be included in the E/M code for the visit. Hope this helps.
