I have a question regarding the first exercise ("Mohs Surgery"): The CPT Guidelines for Mohs Surgery state that "If a repair is performed, use separate repair, flap or graft codes." Why didn't you code for Burow's graft performed by a different surgeon (Plastic surgeon) in this case study?
A patient who had previous abdominal surgery presents with a large reducible incisional hernia. After extensive lysis of adhesions and excision of subcutaneous scar tissue, the incisional hernia is repaired using musculofascial flaps and implantation of mesh. How this would be reported? a. 15734, 15734-59, 49565-51, 49568 b. 49565, 49568-51 15734-59, 49565-59, 49568 d. None of the above Why Ans A is correct and why not C ??? Please help
