Is a recurrent umbilical hernia repair coded as umbilical hernia repair 49585-87 or as a incisional hernia repair 49560-66?
 
A recurrent umbilical hernia is one of the most common types of incisional/ventral hernias. The repair of this type hernia should be coded using either 49565 if reducible or 49566 if incarcerated
