Apr 07, 2008 · If the adhesions were causing the small bowl obstruction and the physician did a lysis of adhesions to release the small bowel, I would code 44005.
If the adhesions were causing the small bowl obstruction and the physician did a lysis of adhesions to release the small bowel, I would code 44005.
Unless you have documentation that the lysis of adhesions is very large it is included in the exploratory code. The documentation cannot only state that the lysis was done to obtain access to the site, it must be excessive. Most times you will not get the documentation you need in order to bill this separately. T.
The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM Z48.815 became effective on October 1, 2021.
Categories Z00-Z99 are provided for occasions when circumstances other than a disease, injury or external cause classifiable to categories A00 -Y89 are recorded as 'diagnoses' or 'problems'. This can arise in two main ways:
In this instance, the lysis of adhesions is separately coded (root operation Release), because it was more than simply procedural steps necessary to reach the operative site. According to the ICD-10-PCS Official Coding Guidelines, B3.13, “In the root operation Release, the body part value coded is the body part being freed and not the tissue being manipulated or cut to free the body part.” Therefore, the body part value for the lysis of adhesions is the greater omentum.
No , do not assign a diagnosis code for the adhesions or a procedure code for the lysis of adhesions. There was no indication of the clinical significance documented by the surgeon within the body of the operative report, nor was there documentation of increased difficulty when performing the operative procedure.
Frequently, however, adhesions may exist without being organized and without causing any symptoms in the patient or increasing the difficulty of performing the operative procedure. When such minor adhesions exist and are lysed as part of the principal procedure, coding a diagnosis of adhesions and the procedure of lysis of adhesions is inappropriate. For example, some adhesions around the gallbladder are common and may be lysed as an integral part of the cholecystectomy. In this case, this is an incidental finding and coding of adhesions or their lysis would rarely be appropriate. Occasionally, the gallbladder is so encased in a strong band of adhesions that extensive lysis is required before the gallbladder is removed. In this case, coding of the adhesions and lysis would be appropriate when both the clinical significance of the adhesions and the complexity of the lysis of adhesions are documented in the operative report.
As is customary with other surgeries, it is irrelevant whether the adhesions or lysis of adhesions are included in the title of the operation. Determination as to whether the adhesions and the lysis are significant enough to code and report must be made by the surgeon. Adhesions from previous surgery are the most common cause...

Coders should not code adhesions and lysis thereof, based solely on mention of adhesions or lysis in an operative report. As is customary with other surgeries, it is irrelevant whether the adhesions or lysis of adhesions are included in the title of the operation. Determination as to whether the adhesions and the lysis are significant enough to code and report must be made by the surgeon.
No, do not assign codes for the adhesions of the omentum and abdominal wall nor the adhesiolysis, since there was no indication of their clinical significance documented by the surgeon within the body of the operative report. According to the ICD-10-PCS Official Coding Guidelines, B3.1b, “Procedural steps necessary to reach the operative site and close the operative site, including anastomosis of a tubular body part, are also not coded separately.” Coders should not code adhesions and lysis thereof, based solely on mention of adhesions or lysis in an operative report. Determination as to whether the adhesions and the lysis are significant enough to code and report must be made by the surgeon. Documentation of clinical significance by the surgeon may include, but is not limited to, the following language: numerous adhesions requiring a long time to lyse, extensive adhesions involving tedious lysis, extensive lysis, etc. If uncertainty exists regarding clinical significance, then query the provider.
If they meet 1 of the 4 conditions: 1. The same root operation is performed on different body parts as defined by distinct values of the body part character. 2. The same root operation is repeated at different body part sites that are included in the same body part value. 3. Multiple root operations with distinct objectives are performed on the same body part. 4. The intended root operation is attempted using on approach but is converted to a different approach.
Components of a procedure specified in the root operation definition and explanation are not coded separately.
