altemeier procedure

Hi

Does anyone out there know if the procedure code 45130, altemeier procedure for rectal prolapse when done with posterior levatorplasty includes the levatorplasty procedure? Or is there a seperate code for the levatorplasty code that I can bill in addition to the 45130 code. Your answer will greatly help. Thanks
