Wiki lap app w/omentectomy

[mhester]

Our surgeon has performed a lap append with partial omentectomy. He is using 44970 for lap app and 49329-52 for partial omentectomy. Is this correct? What about 49255? Thanks!

Can you post the op note

I think you'll get a more accurate response if you post the op note.

I don't think you can bill for the omentectomy as that is a
separate procedure.
