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.

Other mechanical complication of indwelling ureteral stent, initial encounter. T83. 192A is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes.
A retained ureteral stent was defined as a stent in place for more than 6 months. Within this group 8 patients had stents placed at an outside institution. The 34 patients enrolled with retained ureteral stents had a total of 40 retained stents with 6 patients having bilateral ureteral stents.
“We still feel for JJ stent removal alone — CPT® code 52310 (Cystourethroscopy, with removal of foreign body, calculus, or ureteral stent from urethra or bladder [separate procedure]; simple) — the most appropriate ICD-10 diagnosis indicating medical necessity for 52310 would be ICD-10 code T19.
Injectable implants are injections of material into the urethra to help control urine leakage (urinary incontinence) caused by a weak urinary sphincter. The sphincter is a muscle that allows your body to hold urine in the bladder. If your sphincter muscle stops working well, you will have urine leakage.
Subsequently, the definitions have been clarified and now a “catheter” is defined as a tube that drains externally from the patient (for example a ureteral catheter would exit the urethra or kidney), whereas a “stent” is fully internalized (for example a ureteral stent, which typically drains from the kidney to the ...
Ureteral stenting is an effective way to allow painful kidney stones to pass through the ureters and out of the body. Ureteral stents for kidney stones and ureteral stones are temporary. Some people need ureteral stents longer to keep narrowed ureters open.
52332In contrast, insertion of an indwelling or non-temporary stent (CPT® code 52332) involves the placement of a specialized self-retaining stent (e.g. J stent) into the ureter to relieve obstruction or treat ureteral injury.
ICD-10 code N20. 1 for Calculus of ureter is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Diseases of the genitourinary system .
According to NCCI they cannot be billed separately. CPT 52310 has a "separate procedure" indication in the code description meaning its typically included in other CPT codes and not separately reportable.
Using a fluoroscope to see the ureter, a guide wire is inserted into the ureter. The stent is run over the guide wire and placed in its permanent position within the ureter. Once the stent has been placed, the guide wire may be removed, or a nephrostomy catheter may be left in place for a day or two and then removed.
The use of a cystostomy tube, also known as a suprapubic catheter, is one of the less invasive means of urinary diversion and can be used both temporarily and in the long term.
Though the SPC would be considered an indwelling catheter, it does not involve the urethra. In ICD-10-CM, a CAUTI involving a suprapubic catheter would be coded to T83. 518A, Infection and inflammatory reaction due to other urinary catheter. Coding Clinic, 1Q 2012 pp.
