When coding a laparoscopic colon resection involving two different areas, you typically use the appropriate Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) codes for the specific types of resection performed on each area. If both resections are separate procedures, you may need to report them using distinct codes and apply the appropriate modifiers if required. Additionally, ensure that you follow the guidelines for multiple procedures, which might involve using a modifier like -51 for multiple surgeries. Always refer to the latest coding guidelines and payer-specific requirements to ensure accuracy.
