Procedure: open radical cystectomy with ileal conduit diversion, bilateral pelvic lymphadenectomy
this was done by 2 of the physicians from the same group (urology)
The general surgeon (from another group) did the harvest and creation of ileal conduit with small bowel reanastomosis

I was thinking 51595 for the cystectomy but am thrown off by the general surgeon's part of this as far as billing..
Help please !!
Thanks
Rebecca
 
Looks like your doctors only did
51575Cystectomy, complete; with bilateral pelvic lymphadenectomy, including external iliac, hypogastric, and obturator nodes


CPT 50820 would be coded by the Gen doctor.
