If physician performs repair of recurrent incarcerated ventral hernia (49566) and then reinforces using the old mesh can he bill 49568 also? I'm not a general surgery coder so thanks for any advice or guidance anyone can give.
Also, what would be the ICD-10 code for "Sigmoid colon adherent to old mesh"?
