Hi. I have a question if anyone could give me some pointers. I have a case that reads Robo Umbilical hernia with incarcerated properitoneal fat. I can't decide if this means the hernia itself is incarcerated or not. I have read that the viscera is contained in the hernia making it incarcerated. Viscera is abdominal organs. Now I am way confused.
My codes are 49652 vs. 49653
Thanks in advance!
