Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is the procedure of gall bladder removal. In this invasive procedure, the technique of laparoscopy is used and gall bladder is removed by making 4 to 5 small incisions than a long cut. Laparoscope helps to view inside imaging on screen and removal of gall bladder.
Cholangiogram is the procedure including X-ray imaging with contrast material. This is performed after laparoscopic cholecystectomy (gall bladder removal) for evaluation of bile excretion in small intestine. A few small cuts are required for this procedure. The CPT code for this combo procedure is 47563.
Intraoperative Cholangiogram is the special X-ray with contrast material performed during the surgical procedure. It is used during laparoscopic cholecystectomy (gall bladder removal) for detailed imaging and bile secretion evaluation and exploration. The CPT code for this procedure is 47564.
IOC is abbreviated as intraoperative Cholangiogram which is performed during the surgical gall bladder removal procedure. The special X-rays help to evaluate and explore bile ducts and bile secretion to small intestine during laparoscopic cholecystectomy (gall bladder removal). The CPT code for this is 47564.
Firefly is used to inject a dye named ICG (Indocyanine green) before laparoscopic cholecystectomy for the evaluation of bile flow. The bile secretion and volume is checked with this dye and on the other hand, gall bladder is removed with 4 to 5 small incisions. The CPT code is 47564.
Appendectomy is the procedure of removal of appendix. This can be performed in combination with laparoscopic cholecystectomy (gall bladder removal). Laparoscope is inserted inside the body for internal imaging during gall bladder removal and appendectomy is performed along with this. CPT code is 44955.
Laparoscopic cholecystectomy (gall bladder removal) can be further assisted by intraoperative Cholangiogram (special X-ray with contrast). Laparoscope helps for internal imaging and IOC evaluates and explores bile secretion while removing gall bladder. The CPT code for this combination is 47564.
Lysis of adhesion is the procedure of tissue breaking holding two organs together. This can be done with laparoscope, so it is combined with cholecystectomy to perform two procedures under laparoscope assistance. 3 to 4 small cuts are made for laparoscope insertion and removal. The CPT code is 56304.
Cholecystostomy is the procedure of putting a tube in gall bladder. The procedure of gall bladder removal and Cholecystostomy removal can be performed side by side with the help of laparoscope computer imaging. The CPT code is 47564.
In intraoperative fluoroscopic cholangiography, the Barium X-rays are used with contrast material. It is performed along with gall bladder removal procedure. Laparoscope is inserted for the internal imaging and X-rays help to evaluate bile secretions. The CPT code is 47564.
In most of the cases, laparoscopic cholecystectomy can be converted to an open cholecystectomy. It is the preferred procedure for stones removal and inflammation in gall bladder. Sometimes, due to complications, it is converted to open cholecystectomy with a bigger cut. The CPT code is 47563.

The CPT code for this combo procedure is 47563.
CPT Code For Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy With Intraoperative Cholangiogram
Intraoperative Cholangiogram is the special X-ray with contrast material performed during the surgical procedure. It is used during laparoscopic cholecystectomy (gall bladder removal) for detailed imaging and bile secretion evaluation and exploration. The CPT code for this procedure is 47564.
CPT Code For Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy With IOC
IOC is abbreviated as intraoperative Cholangiogram which is performed during the surgical gall bladder removal procedure.

Laparoscope is inserted inside the body for internal imaging during gall bladder removal and appendectomy is performed along with this. CPT code is 44955.
CPT Code For Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy With Attempted Intraoperative Cholangiogram
Laparoscopic cholecystectomy (gall bladder removal) can be further assisted by intraoperative Cholangiogram (special X-ray with contrast). Laparoscope helps for internal imaging and IOC evaluates and explores bile secretion while removing gall bladder. The CPT code for this combination is 47564.
CPT Code For Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy With Lysis Of Adhesions
