Patient was seen for removal of ectopic pregnancy. Physician performed a laproscopic salpingectomy (59151) with D&C. D & C was performed first. Ectopic pregnancy was without intrauterine pregnancy (633.10) There were no hemorrhage or retained products noted.
We are in debate as to which D&C code to use - 59160 or 58120.
Any thoughts? Does anyone have any advise from AAPC, AMA, ACOG, etc. on how to code this situation?
Thanks for your help.
