A patient has a choledochal cyst that needs to be removed. What CPT code should be used for the removal of this type of cyst?
  1. 47630
  2. 47711
  3. 47715
  4. 47999
Explanation
Answer: C - 47715 is the correct code for excision of a choledochal cyst.
Code 47630 is incorrect because this code is used for biliary duct stone extraction. Code 47711 is incorrect because it is the code for the excision of a bile duct tumor. Code 47999 is incorrect because the removal of choledochal cyst has a specific code, so it would not fall under the code for unlisted procedure of the biliary tract.
