Dear All:

Good day!

I have a query regarding the NCCI edits policy for diffrent surgeons working together in same operative session.
Eg. Gyn Specialist performed CPT 58150(Total abdominal hysterectomy (corpus and cervix), with or without removal of tube(s), with or without removal of ovary(s); ) & General surgeon performed cpt 49255 (Omentectomy, epiploectomy, resection of omentum (separate procedure) )
Normally CPT 49255 is included in CPT 58150 as per NCCI edits. But, if it is different specialty surgeons, whether it is applicable?

Your kind feedback is highly appreciated!
 
I'm thinking this is a case where the 58150 would be reported by both surgeons with modifier 62 (co surgery) as different providers of different specialties performed separate components of the procedure. I assume both dictated their own OP reports?
