Wiki return to OR

[Tammy Hughes]

My doctor had to return to the OR for acute post operative vaginal bleeding. He preformed a EUA, and exploration and reclosure of the vaginal cuff. I know I need to use the modifier 78. What I'm looking for is a CPT for the exploration and reclosure of the vaginal cuff. Is there a code simular to the 35840 (Exploration for postop hemorrhage, abdomen)
Any help would be appreciated.

Return to OR

I would use cpt code 57200 with modifier 78, and a diagnosis to expain the post op bleeding.
