Hello, recently my urogynecologist has begun using VNOTES to perform a vaginal endoscopy BSO. She first performs a vaginal hysterectomy and AFTER the uterus is removed, then proceeds with VNOTES BSO. My understanding from researching VNOTES technology is it's another way of performing a "laparoscopic" surgery without having to place the abdominal ports - so shorter recovery time, less invasive, etc. I've been in touch with one of the VNOTES reps via my provider and he has suggested billing LAVH/BSO. Technically, my doctor and I both agree this doesn't accurately describe what she does. I'm wondering if a better coding solution would be to code the TVH with CPT 58661? Has anyone else had any experience with this or know if ACOG has provided any guidance yet on how to bill for this new technology?
