Ok, I have one that you seasoned OB/GYN coders can probably answer with your eyes closed but I need your help.
Patient had her tubes tied but then the surgeon found a cyst on the rt ovary. It was drained and the cyst sac was taken out but the piece had a concerning appearance so they took the whole ovary and tube (salpingo-oopherectomy).
Codes 58671 & 58720 bundle. So how should this be coded?
Suggestions have been made as follows:
58671
58720
This was billed and of course they denied 58671 as included.
58671-59
58720
58671-59
58720-52
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!
