Ask AIBill This Code — Sign Up Free

This service is an add-on to a primary cystoscopy procedure (such as `Z606`). It involves the unilateral placement of a ureteric stent to bypass an obstructing lesion. As per the Schedule of Benefits note, only one of E773 or E818 is eligible for payment for the same ureteric obstruction.

When to Use

  • Use E773 when performing a unilateral ureteric stent placement specifically to bypass an obstructing lesion during a cystoscopy procedure.
  • Select E773 when the primary procedure is Z606 or Z607 and the clinical intent is to relieve a ureteric obstruction via stenting.

Common Pitfalls

  • Billing E773 in conjunction with E818 for the same ureteric obstruction will result in a rejection, as these codes are mutually exclusive.
  • Failing to link E773 to a valid primary cystoscopy code like Z606 or Z607 will lead to claim rejection.

Billing Tips

  • Ensure the primary procedure code (Z606 or Z607) is billed on the same claim to support the add-on status of E773.
