Where can I find a list with the primary procedure codes for add on procedures? I have a surgery that was performed laparoscopically and the MD also performed a needle biopsy of the liver after cholescystectomy was performed due to discoloration of liver. Add on code 47001 is listed for open procedure. I did see in another forum that it can also be utilized for laparoscopic procedures. Many thanks.
 
If I understand correctly. The dr performed a lap cholecystectomy and at that time a biopsy of the liver? If that is the case, unfortunately, you need to use the unlisted code 47379.

Hope that helps.
