Recently performed surgery where hand port was used laparoscopically to remove abdominal mass. Anyone know what CPT code to use?
 
I looked into to this a while back too. When a handport is used it is still a laparoscopic procedure, it doesn't change the code at all. For example if a pt. had a hand assisted laparoscopic right hemi colectomy, it's still code 44205.

Hope this helps.
