Default Need an OBGYN EXPERT pLEASSSSSSSE.

Quick quick question. The physician wrote ASST Exp. Laporotmy LT Ovarian Cystectomy.

Is this coded as CPT 49000.80

Is just the CPT 58925.80 used.

Default answer

If they are doing an Exploratory lap, and then do something, the 49000 would be considered inclusive.
It would be 58925-80 only
