Procedure done was Diagnostic laparoscopy and diagnosis was Dysmenorrhea. While doing the laparoscopy my doc found a couple old staples (noted to be anterior to the uterus and to the right within the peritoneum) and removed them. Also found fluid in the posterior cul-de-sac which was removed and sent to cytology. Usually I would do 49320 for the diagnosis lap but with the extra stuff I'm a little confused. Should I only code 49402? If I do both 49320 and 49402 I would need a modifier is shows. Does anyone have any advice on this?
