We have a surgeon that is suddenly doing Lap hernia repairs with retro-rectus posterior component separation or Lap extraperitoneal repair of ventral hernias with mesh. Does anyone know how to code these? Do we bill 49652 & an unlisted 49659? Would this be compared to 15734? Would this be considered part of the repair with mesh? Should we bill 49652 with modifier 22. This has us stumped. I have researched for answers but have not been able to come up with anything for how to code these. Anyone familiar with these? Any help would be appreciated.
