Bilateral pelvic lymphadenectomy, radical cystectomy with hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy, and ileal conduit urinary diversion with incidental appendectomy.
 
no book

Hi Rita, although I don't have my book right in front of me, I'm going to try from memory.
51595 should be bilate pelvic lymphadenectomy with cystectomy and ileal conduit diversion. The hysterectomy code, I cannot remember off the top of my head as there are many different hysterectomy codes. If I can remember, there are hysterectomy codes are with or with bilate salpingo-oopherectomy so they should be included if the correct hysterectomy code is selected. The incidental appendentectomy I would say is not billable. Was it taken out because it was "in the way"?
