Wiki Robot assisted partial nephrectomy

[rachell1976]

We are just starting to bill robotic assisted procedures- what is the appropriate code for a robotic assisted Laparoscopic partial nephrectomy?

thanks.

in our office we bill it with the laprascopic partial nephrectomy 50543 same would go no matter what type of nephrectomy is done. And then on top of that we bill S2900 which is for surg techniques requiring robotic system.

hope this helped
