I had a provider see a patient in the ER , ended up having to go to surgery. The abdomen was opened, the abdomen is inspected and the small bowel eviscerated. A small adhesive band is dissected and cleared. the SB obstruction is relieved. She also has chronic cholecystitis and decided to perform an open cholecystectomy at that time.
I coded 44005 with 47600, CCI says I can not bill these two codes together, Does any one have an alternative codes so my provider is paid for his work?
