Unlisted Keyhole Abdominal Procedure

South Carolina rates for HCPCS 49329

Used when a keyhole operation inside the abdomen, on its lining, or on the fatty apron that hangs over the intestines does not match any standard named procedure. The surgeon files a written report setting out exactly what was done, and it is compared with similar named operations. Because it stands in for work that has no standard name, what was actually done differs from patient to patient.
