I have a patient that returned 3 days post op for revision of hernia repair performed laparoscopically. I can't find a code.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks
 
It would depend on what type of hernia. Check CPT codes 49650-49657. All of these codes pertain to hernias performed laparoscopically.
 
I understand and it was a hiatal hernia but the hernia was already repaired. They went in to revise the repair that was previously completed. Would it still be a hernia repair?
