Coding for catheterizations can be confusing due to the fact that how you bill a catheterization depends on the clinical scenario. Therefore, before assigning codes, we verify the exact procedure that was performed in order to prevent the claim from getting denied. For example, for urethral dilation, which is one of the most commonly performed medical treatments at urology practices, our coders know to assign CPT codes for initial and subsequent dilations. This way, the urologist is reimbursed fully for the services rendered – and no money is left on the table.
