Abstract: Laparoscopic splenectomy (LS) is the gold standard procedure to remove the spleen in elective patients. The laparoscopic procedure can be performed safely in patients with a massive splenomegaly, too.
There are two ways to perform a splenectomy: laparoscopic surgery and open surgery. Laparoscopic splenectomy is done using an instrument called a laparoscope. This is a slender tool with a light and camera on the end.
During the procedureLaparoscopic splenectomy. During laparoscopic splenectomy, the surgeon makes four small incisions in your abdomen. ... Open splenectomy. During open splenectomy, the surgeon makes an incision in the middle of your abdomen and moves aside muscle and other tissue to reveal your spleen.
A. The correct codes are 58661 and 49321-51. Code 58661 describes partial or total oophorectomy and/or salpingectomy. If you look up ovarian cystectomy in the index of CPT, you are referred to code 58661 for that portion of the procedure also. The code cannot be reported with the bilateral modifier, which means that although procedures were done on the right and left sides, this code includes both procedures.
Procedure code 58661 is billed with modifier 22 and medical records – the claim will be pended for medical review for possible additional
CPT code 49320 states: “Surgical laparoscopy always includes diagnostic laparoscopy. . .” Therefore the surgical laparoscopic procedure described by the column one HCPCS code G0342 (Laparoscopy for islet cell transplant, includes portal vein catheterization and infusion) includes the diagnostic laparoscopic procedure described by the column two CPT code 49320 (Laparoscopy, abdomen, peritoneum, and omentum, diagnostic, with or without collection of specimen (s) by brushing or washing (separate procedure)). Based on the CPT Manual instruction CPT code 49320 is bundled into HCPCS code G0342.
Report 49321 — laparoscopy, surgical; with biopsy — for the peritoneal biopsy and, since it is the lesser service, add the -51 modifier. These codes are not bundled under CCI, therefore, the -51 modifier is used instead of the -59.
Incidental includes procedures that can be performed along with the primary procedure, but are not essential to complete the procedure. They do not typically have a significant impact on the work and time of the primary procedure. Incidental procedures are not separately reimbursable when performed with the primary procedure.
This rule will pend the claim for additional review for increase of allowance when the procedure code is billed with modifier 22 to identify unusual procedural services AND the claim is submitted with medical records.
Anthem Central Region bundles 49322 as incidental with 58662, bundles 49332-LT as incidental with 58662-LT and bundles 49322-RT as incidental with 58662-RT Based on American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, it states on code 58662 and under services included intraoperative services: “Destruction or excision of lesions, any method”. Therefore, if 49322 is submitted with 58662—only 58662 reimburses, if 49322-LT is submitted with 58662-LT—only 58662-LT reimburses and if 49322-RT is submitted with 58662-RT only 58662-RT reimburses.
