A patient needs to have a dorsal exploration of the adrenal gland with biopsy. What is the correct CPT code for this procedure?

60540
60545
60650
60659

Explanation

Answer: A - 60540 is the correct code for a partial or complete adrenalectomy or exploration of the adrenal gland with or without biopsy using either the transabdominal, lumbal or dorsal approaches.
Code 60545 is incorrect because there is no mention of removal of adjacent tumor. Codes 60650 and 60659 are both incorrect because this was not a laparoscopic procedure.
