Hello,
I am trying to code a laparoscopic tubotubal anastomosis. The CPT book lists 58750. However, I think if it is not specified as laparoscopic it is considered an open procedure, am I correct? I feel that close enough is not good enough and want to submit the procedure with 58679 (unlisted laparoscopic procedure, oviduct, ovary). Please let me know your thoughts.

Thank you.
