I have a Laproscopic incarcerated umbilical hernia 49653, shouldn't it have an ASA code being laproscopy also such as 00790? Any direction would be greatly appreciated and thank you in advance!
 
CPT code 49653 crosswalks to 00752 (6 units), 00750 or 00832. Look at each to see which one is most appropriate based on your documentation.
