Our surgeon wants to bill for lysis of adhesions(44180 seperate procedure) AND the laparoscopic cholecystecomy(47562). He put in the operative note "This was a very extensive lysis of adhesions. It was complex." and then continues on with the description of removoving the gall bladder.
Does this support billing the lysis of adhesions and the main surgery code?
If so would I append a 59 modifier?
