Hello,
A patient had a previous bilateral tubal ligation but then had a ruptured ectopic pregnancy in one of her tubes. Our MD removed that tube and then also removed the other tube to prevent future ectopic pregnancy.
I billed 59151 and 58661. Which dx code would I use for the 58661? It is for Medicaid which requires a sterilization consent but she was already sterilized (w/ BTL) so if I use Z30.2 the 58661 would not get paid.
Thanks,
Lauren
