I'm coding a laparoscopic removal of a left ectopic pregnancy (DX 633.10) and ligation of RT fallopian tube for desired sterilization (v25.2). I'm not sure if I should just code 59151 DX 633.10, or add 58700 w/ mod 59/51, since the ligation was for the other tube? I know that 58700 is bundled into 59151, but I didn't know if it made a difference that the second tube was ligated for sterilization purposes. Any ideas?
