provider did an abdominal hysterectomy and now he had to go back to the OR and do an exploratory laparotomy with evacuation of a pelvic hemorrhage.
i am thinking 35840??? with the 78 modifier??
 
35840 is for major postop abdominal hemorrhage. The code of 49002 might be more appropriate depending on what the OP Report actually states.
