The code 49650 does not state that the mesh is included when performed, unlike the other codes in this catagory...is it understood that the mesh is included or should I be using another code to include mesh?

If anyone can help I'm open for suggestions,
thanks,

sandy
 
Mesh

I know if you look into the CPT Book it will show you the procedures that you can bill the mesh with.

I am sorry if I had my book with me I could tell you.

Good Luck.
 
Mesh

Hi,

I never add a code for mesh with laparoscopic repairs. They do not even offer one. When they are open you are only allowed to use it on incisional or ventral hernias.
