Bladder Scope with Ureter Catheter Placement

Wyoming rates for HCPCS 52005

A thin scope is passed through the urethra into the bladder to examine it, and a small catheter is then guided up into one or both ureters (the tubes connecting the kidneys to the bladder). It may include flushing fluid through the catheter or injecting contrast dye to get a clearer X-ray view of the upper urinary tract.
