CPT Knowledgebase - Jan 2, 2007

A physician performed a cystourethroscopy with treatment of ureteral stricture on the left side of the patient (CPT code 52341). During preparation for the procedure, the patient also complained of right flank pain in addition to the left flank concerns. A cystourethroscopy, with ureteroscopy for diagnostic purposes (CPT code 52351), was also performed in the right flank area during the same operative session. Would it be appropriate to report code 52351 in addition to CPT code 52341?
