Can you bill cpt 55866 and 38571 together?
Yes, CPT codes 55866 (laparoscopy, surgical; prostatectomy, including robotic assistance) and 38571 (laparoscopy, surgical; biopsy of lymph nodes) can be billed together, but it's essential to ensure that the procedures are distinct and not included in each other's global period. Additionally, proper documentation is required to justify the medical necessity of both procedures being performed during the same session. It's important to check for any payer-specific guidelines or bundling edits that may apply.
