A right side epididymectomy and spermatocelectomy are performed on a 15-year-old male. What code is reported for this procedure?

Answer;

= 54840

The code that is reported for the procedure is 54840

Explanation;

-Code 54840 describes the excision of spermatocele, with or without epididymectomy and is the correct code. The epididymectomy codes (58460-58461) are not reported as the procedure is included in 54840. A lesion was not removed from the epididymis, making 54830 incorrect. Look in the CPT® Index for Spermatocele/Excision 54840
