What 52330 covers

A urologist passes a cystoscope through the urethra into the bladder and manipulates a ureteral calculus without extracting it. A classic use is moving a ureteral stone back toward the kidney before planned extracorporeal shock-wave treatment; this service is the endoscopic manipulation, not the later fragmentation or removal. It is most often performed in an operating room or ambulatory surgery center, though office services also occur.

Report 52330 when the operative note supports cystoscopic manipulation of a ureteral stone and no stone extraction. Document the stone’s location, the manipulation performed, and whether treatment was unilateral or bilateral. CMS assigns a 0-day global period, so same-day preoperative and postoperative care is included. For bilateral procedures, modifier 50 is paid at 150%. When related endoscopies are performed together, CMS applies endoscopy-family pricing. CMS does not pay an assistant at surgery; co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.

This summary was written with AI assistance from CMS physician fee schedule data and checked against the CMS billing rules shown here. Rates on this page come directly from CMS files.

52330 billing questions

How does 52330 differ from stone removal?

52330 describes manipulating a ureteral stone without extracting it. Use a removal code when the stone is retrieved, and a fragmentation code when it is broken up endoscopically.

Can a ureteral stent be reported with 52330?

A stent may be placed during the same session when clinically performed. Document the stent placement separately; CMS endoscopy-family pricing applies when related endoscopies are performed together.

What documentation supports 52330?

The operative note should identify the ureteral stone and side, describe the cystoscopic manipulation, and make clear that the stone was not removed.

How is bilateral 52330 paid?

CMS recognizes bilateral reporting with modifier 50 and pays the procedure at 150%.

Are assistant or co-surgeon services payable?

CMS does not pay an assistant at surgery for this code. Co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.

Where these rates come from

FeeBase calculates base physician payments from CMS work, practice-expense and malpractice RVUs, adjusted by each locality’s geographic indexes and the conversion factor. Services without a published rate are labeled, never given a made-up amount. Amounts are Medicare allowed amounts before claim adjustments: not a patient’s bill or a commercial rate.
