Hello,
I am a little stumpped....my physician states to use 15330 for additional coding of the AlloMax mesh being used during a ventral or incisional hernia repair, as he got that from a coding seminar a few years back.
The code +49568 is the for implantation of the mesh or other prosthesis for open ventral and incisional repairs, does not state what kind of mesh...
Which code is correct to use? I have researched this and have found little to none on hernia repair with use of AlloMax mesh except for surgeon journals. The code 15330 pops up when discussing AlloMax surgical skin grafts, but nothing on coding this code for its use during hernia repairs?
