Wiki Gyn Surgery add on

I have a case in which my doctor was doing a diagnostic lap and had to call in another surgeon to remove the patient's appendix. The other surgeon will bill their own charges but I'm not sure how to bill for my provider's portion. I'm going with 58662 (she ended up cauterizing endometrial implants) but feel like the appendix issue isn't noted at all here. Suggestions and input would be appreciated!

If your provider didn't do anything for the appendix, then you can't bill anything. You can certainly add the dx for the appendix behind the endometriosis, but that's it.
