Can somebody tell me if the CPT code 58940 is correct to bill for laparotomy and left oophorectomy?

Thanks a lot
 
Lap and L Ophorectomy

Not 100% sure but I think I'd bill the Lap as the primary code 49000 and the 58940 with the 59 modifier.
I'm curious to see if this is what anyone else would recommend.
Hope it helps.
 
You can not bill the 49000 with 59840 due to cci edits, if a procedure was actually done then that over rides the exploratory procedure:)
