Doc performed C section and BTL. 4 hours later, he had to do an emergency hysterectomy.

Is this still the add on code of 59525?

Thanks in advance,

Rhonda
 
Yes, The instruction notes tell you to use this code in conjunction with the delivery code you are using. You would need to report the c-section/BTL and the hysterectomy being sure to show the medical necessity of the hysterectomy in the diagnosis codes you use.
