What ClearPetra Is

  • Suction-enabled flexible ureteral access sheath system
  • Designed to be steered throughout renal anatomy
  • Supports aspiration of irrigation fluid, stone fragments, dust, blood, and related material
  • Uses active suction and a pressure control vent to help keep intrarenal pressure lower compared with conventional access sheaths

What’s Included

  • Physician coding logic for ureteroscopy and lithotripsy cases
  • Facility coding considerations, including C9761 discussion
  • ICD-10 coding examples for kidney and ureter stones
  • Documentation guidance for aspiration, lithotripsy, stent status, laterality, and device use
  • Billing, compliance, and payer confirmation considerations
  • Common physician-side and facility-side pitfalls

Designed For

  • Urologists
  • Advanced Practice Providers
  • ASC and HOPD facility teams
  • Billing and coding teams
  • Practice administrators
  • Revenue cycle leadership

Documentation Focus

  • Procedure elements: cystourethroscopy, ureteroscopy and/or pyeloscopy, and lithotripsy as applicable
  • Stone location, stone burden, clearance intent, and outcomes
  • Fragment evacuation and aspiration workflow, including where and how aspiration occurred
  • Device and supply capture alignment across the operative note, nursing record, supply log, and charge capture record

PRS Perspective

ClearPetra coding and reimbursement depend on procedure details, documentation, facility charge capture, and payer-specific rules. PRS recommends confirming payer guidance in writing, documenting the device name and functional capabilities, and aligning the physician note, facility record, supply log, and charge capture record before claim submission.
