Tah-bso
Operation: D&C with frozen section of endometrial curettings
Diag Laparoscopy
TAH w/BSO
Doc did a D&C prior to other procedures and sent to Path. An LAVH was planned. He started the LAVH and and then was contacted by Path that the specimen was suggestive of a high grade tumor. Therefore, the decision was made to change to a TAH w/BSO. Another doc did the staging and lymph node dissection.
How to code this: 58150-22, 58120-59? And how to bill for the 2nd doc.'s work? and which modifier to use for 2nd doc.'s work, 80 / 81 or 62 with same CPT code?
Please help....
