| Understand the new cholecystectomy procedures |
| Starting this year, Medicare has approved a broader base of patients upon whom ASCs can perform laparoscopic cholecystectomy (lap chole) procedures. Now that Medicare is covering additional lap chole procedures for ASCs, surgery centers can perform additional procedures or add lap chole procedures as a new offering if they previously did not perform them. Report these new procedures using codes 47562, 47563, and 47564. |
