when is lysis of adhesions coded separately when performing a cholecystectomy? For example, the doctor states it takes half the time of the entire procedure to perform the lysis of adhesions. (The doctor does not ask to bill it separately if the lysis of adhesions is around the gallbladder and need to be removed before reaching the gallbladder.)
how is this billable for BOTH Inpatient and Outpatients cases and the doctor would like to know why it is different between inpatient and outpatiend
