panniculectomy
Can you code a 15830 and 15847 with a 49566 and 49568? Can a 15777 mesh be used?
Thanks

Code 49566 includes 15830 unless totally unrelated to code 49566. Code 15847 is an add-on code and same applies.
Yes, can code 49568 for ventral hernia.

If 15830 is unrelated to hernia repair use -59 modifier.
