My Urologist had to mobilize the splenic flexure (+44139) so that the Vascular surgeon could remove the cava. My Urologist then proceeded in removing the kidney partially (50543).
Per CPT guideline, 44139 can only be billed in conjunction with 44140-44147 (colectomy-related) which my Urologist didn't do.
How then can my Urologist be reimbursed for his effort on mobilizing the splenix flexure? Is there another code we can bill?
