Wiki Lap Chole with IOC and liver biopsy

[swhager]

Can someone tell me if you would code this as 47653 with 47100? The op report says " a small corner of the lower edge of the right lobe of the liver was excised sharply, and the specimen was removed atraumatically".
Thanks

47100 is an open code and you indicated this was done during a lap chole. Look at 49321.
