my doctor removed an ectopic pregnancy by laprocsopy with salpinostomy. I've coded using salpinectomy but not salpinostomy which I know is creating an opening in the tube and removing the ectopic pregnancy that way. We deal with alot of Medicaid and when I look up in the OB CPT code book salpineostomy- the dx for ectopic pregnancy is not there. Trying to match up dx with CPT code so Medicaid pays. Please help since I need to code by end of this week.
Thanks,
Hilda
