I need help please..... I have a patient that had a TVH and Anterior Colporrhaphy on one day and then the next day she had to be returned to surgery for vaginal bleeding . The doctor did an examination under anestheisia and ligation of vaginal wall bleeder. The first surgery was done by two of our doctors but the return to surgery was done by two different doctors in our practice. Can this be charged out and if so, what cpt code would I use to charge for the ligation? I know I would use modifier 78 on the charge but unsure what code to use if in fact it can be charged.
Thanks for any help you can give.
