What 52352 covers

A urologist passes an endoscope through the urethra and bladder into the ureter or renal collecting system to reach a calculus. The stone may be grasped, extracted, or manipulated with endoscopic instruments; this service is distinct from fragmenting a stone with lithotripsy. Ureteroscopic stone treatment is commonly performed in an operating room or ambulatory surgery setting for ureteral or kidney stones that can be reached endoscopically.

Report the service when the operative record supports ureteroscopic or pyeloscopic access and removal or manipulation of a calculus. Document the stone’s location and the work performed, including whether it was extracted or repositioned and whether lithotripsy was used. The code has a 0-day global period, so same-day preoperative and postoperative care is included. When related endoscopies are performed together, CMS applies endoscopy-family pricing. Modifier 50 for a bilateral procedure is paid at 150%. Medicare does not pay an assistant at surgery for this service; co-surgeons and team surgery are not permitted.
