SUBJECT: Interpretation of ACS 0020 Bilateral/multiple procedures for bilateral insertion of ureteric stents

Q:

How do you apply ACS 0020 Bilateral/multiple procedures when coding bilateral insertion of ureteric stents? Is the procedure coded once or twice?



A:

Insertion of bilateral ureteric stents meets the definition of bilateral procedures in ACS 0020 Bilateral/multiple procedures:



Bilateral procedures are those which involve the same organ/structure on different sides of the body at the same operative episode.

Therefore assign 36821-01 [1114] Endoscopic insertion of ureteric stent twice as per Bilateral Procedures, 3. Procedures with no code option for bilateral.

ACS 0020 Bilateral/multiple procedures has been flagged for review in a future edition of the Australian Coding Standards.
