Can we bill 19357 -50 , 15777 - 2 units , 14301 , 14302 - 14 units together when op report mentions - The patient was re-prepped with chlorhexidine and new sterile towels were used to re-drape the operative field. An inferior based dermal pedicle flap was used in the reconstruction. This skin flap inferior to the former nipple-areolar complex to the level of the inframammary fold was de-epithelialized and measured approximately 26 x 18 cm. This skin flap which normally would have been discarded was preserved in an effort to rearrange the existing breast tissue to provide contour, shape and an overall more aesthetic reconstructive result. This technique of preserving this flap for reconstruction is separate and distinct from the placement of the tissue expander. Therefore, the total area of adjacent tissue transfer was 468 cm squared. The wounds were irrigated and hemostasis was achieved with electrocautery.
