Can anyone give advice on how to code for complete cystectomy using robotics...there is no laparoscopic coode for this surgery so would you choose the unlisted code or open procedure?
thank you
 
According to the direction from the AUA, use code 51999 for robotic cystectomy. My doc recently performed his first and I asked for coding assistance from the AUA and the 51999 is what they recommended.
