Looking for clarification for this situation: Provider preformed a Bilateral Orchiopexy (54640-50) and a Vasectomy (55250) for Testicular Torsion (N44.00) and Elective Sterilization
Since the Orchiopexy is Bilateral - 54640-50...but the vasectomy (55250) is a separate procedure
Here is where I get confused: the provider did both procedures through the same scrotal incision.
There are no NCCI PTP edits saying these two codes cannot be billed together.
But 55250 is a separate procedure not included in 54640 and is an independent procedure
Resulting in billing: 54640-50, 55250-59; N44.0, Z30.2
Is this correct or am i missing something?
