:confused::confused:My surgeon performed a laparoscopic abdominal mesh removal along with 1.5 hours of extensive lysis adhesion releases. Is CPT 11008 used for lap? Every source I read (except my 2013 AMA CPT) describes this code as open. The closest I seem to come is laparoscopic foreign body removal. Any help appreciated.
 
11008 is an add on code. It can't be used alone. I do not have a CPT book handy but I'm certain adhesions is not one of the allowed primary codes.
