Wiki Stent removal??

[MsMaddy]

Our doctor did a stent removal in our office. What diagnosis code is there for " stent removal " ?

ALSO, CAN YOU USE MODIFIER 59 IN THIS SCENARIO?

the pt has a gallbladder removal at the hosp, and this was a follow up visit. So the doctor removed the stent. I'm still waiting for dictation to be completed.
