Can these two codes be billed together.

CPT 58720
CPT 58940.59


And is this selection correct for

PROCEDURE

1) EXPLORATORY LAPAROTOMY
2) RIGHT SALPINGO-OOPHORECTOMY
3) LEFT OOPHORECTOMY


Respectfully
Daniel
 
Based on the information supplied, your codes are correct. Based on CCI you do not need the modifier 59, but I know that some carriers do not follow CCI. We have always used the RT and LT in this circumstance, so try this. You may still get a denial or a request for supporting documentation.

CPT 58720-RT
CPT 58940-LT
