CPT Knowledgebase - Apr 7, 2025

What is the correct CPT code for reporting cystoscopy with electrohydraulic lithotripsy (litholapaxy) for bladder calculus that measures 2.5cm? Coding guidelines do not offer a litholapaxy coding option for the exact size of a 2.5cm calculus, but rather offer 1 code for simple, small, less than 2.5cm; and another code for complicated, large, over 2.5cm.
