Wiki Laparoscopic Appendectomy

[RODRIGUEZL]

My Dr. Performed A Laparoscopic Appendectomy. Appendix Was Normal By Pathology. Dx Turned Out To Be Pelvic Inflammatory Disease.

Can Someone Tell Me, Would I Still Code 44970 Or Would I Code 49320?

I would bill the 44970 and use the symtoms as the diagnosis. Hope this helps.

Thanks,
Patti
