We have a patient who is 15 wks pregnant and is going to have a Cystectomy.
They are going to do a Laparotomy. How should I code this, do I bill for a Cystectomy for a Laparotomy. Or is the CPT 58925 inclusive with the Laparotomy.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Dee:confused:
 
You bill only for the cystectomy as this is the definitive procedure, the laparotomy is the approach, and the approach is not coded once a definitive procedure is performed that ghas a unique CPT code.
