Wiki 58661

[vig0405]

New to OBGYN coding. A lysis of adhesions was done with removal of tubes and overies. I think I should use the 58720 because cci states that includes the 58662. But is 58661 the more appropriate code?

58720 is an open procedure, 58661 is laproscopy peformed. thats why there is a CCI edite for them.

you should get a OBGYN coding companion Book from optuminsight. It explains each code in detail, give you an ICD9 list for each procedure and CCI edits for all the code. It worth it!!!!!!!
