Unlisted Keyhole Hernia Repair

Tennessee rates for HCPCS 49659

Used when a hernia repaired by keyhole surgery does not match any standard named procedure. The surgeon files a written report setting out what was repaired and how, and it is compared with similar named operations. Because it stands in for work with no standard name, what was actually done differs from patient to patient.
