My doctor has now decided due to some new info coming down from ACOGS, showing cancer begins in many cases in the tubes. Rather than doing a BTL for sterillization, he is doing a lap salpingectomy. The problem is I can only find a code 58661 for lap ovary and tube. The 58670 specifies fulguration which he is not doing. He is excising the entire tube. Help
 
If the surgeon is performing only lap salpingectomy complete then code still remains 58661, if he is not doing fulguration then ignore 58670.
