What 52346 covers

A urologist passes an endoscope through the bladder and ureter into the kidney to treat a stricture within the intrarenal collecting system. Treatment may involve balloon dilation or incision with laser or electrocautery. A typical clinical problem is a narrowed infundibulum that obstructs drainage from part of the kidney. The procedure is generally performed in an operating room or other facility setting; Medicare’s 2024 utilization data show facility services for this code.

Report 52346 when the treated narrowing is intrarenal and ureteroscopy or pyeloscopy is used. Document the stricture’s location, the endoscopic approach, and the treatment performed. The code includes same-day preoperative and postoperative care and has a 0-day global period. When related endoscopies are performed together, endoscopy family pricing applies. For bilateral procedures, modifier 50 is paid at 150%. Assistant-at-surgery payment requires documentation of medical necessity; co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.
