Open Exploration Of The Abdomen

Arkansas rates for HCPCS 49000

The abdomen is opened through an incision so the surgeon can look directly at the organs inside and find the cause of pain, bleeding, infection, or an abnormal scan. Tissue samples may be taken during the same operation if something suspicious is found. It is used when the diagnosis cannot be settled by scans or less invasive tests.
