Emergency Groin Hernia Repair, Premature Infant

Mississippi rates for HCPCS 49492

This service repairs a groin (inguinal) hernia in a very young or premature infant whose hernia has become trapped and cannot be pushed back in on its own. Because a trapped hernia can cut off blood flow to the trapped tissue, this repair is done urgently rather than on a scheduled basis. It corrects the hernia during the infant's earliest weeks of life.
