Coding a complex abd wall reconstruction with release in the posterior rectus sheath......of 30 cm.
Can anyone help?
 
I answered my own question .......since there is not a CPT for the maneuver, it does fall into the realm of a Complex Closure..........I use the 13101 (release)Complex repair - trunk, first 7.5 cm. The size of the defect must be documented in order to code this accurately.
 
Are you able to post a "scrubbed" version of the op note? It sounds a lot more extensive to me than a typical complex wound closure.
