The general surgeon I work with performed a partial laparscopic cholecystectomy on a patient. Due to excessive adhesions he could not remove the entire gallbladder. The patient is scheduled to have the remainder of his gallbladder removed in three months. We would code 47562 for the lap chole now, but I am confused as to which code to report for the surgery in three months to remove the remainder. Does anyone have advice on how to code this?
