Please help. Laparscopic converted to open Lt Salpingo-oophorectomy . Rt and Lt cystectomy and Exploratory laparotomy - should I bill 58661, 58925 -RT , 58925 -LT and 58940? Thank you for your help.

it would be reported as 58925, 58661-59, 58940
NCCI edits state 58661 is a column 2 code to 58925 (so modifier would be appended to the column 2 code)
58925 should be used only once it is for either unilateral/Bilateral and does not need the LT/RT modifier
Hope this helps :)
