Wiki C-section & lysis of adhesions

[sukheshini]

Hi Friends
please suggest.

Our OB/GYN performed C-section and also lysed pelvic adhesions which took extra time, is it appropriate to code lysis of adhesions separately or do i need to append 22 modifier to CPT 59510.


Thanks

Hi I use the 59515 for the c-section and the 58740 with a modifier -59 seems to work for us!

58740 is to restore fertility
