Hi, Can someone tell what code(s) is used for Exploratory Laparotomy, Lysis of Adhesions, and release of small -bowel obstruction? I have code 49000 and I believe the lysis of adhesions release is included(44005)? There is no mention of a separate incision in the report, so will it be bundled in?, or is this coded separate with a 59 and 51? Thanks!
