Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

60650 is the correct code for a surgical laparoscopy with total adrenalectomy.
Codes 60540 and 60545 are both incorrect because these codes are for adrenalectomies, but are not for the laparoscopic approach. Code 60659 is incorrect because this code is for an unlisted laparoscopic procedure of the endocrine system and there is a code listed for laparoscopic adrenalectomy.
