   We have billed 58662 (620.2) & 49321-51(625.9) but 49321-51 denied as an incidental to 58662.

   Anybody can help?

   Going by coding guidelines you are right and should be reimbursed. But, going by practical experience, if you make the indication a bit different, particularly for 49321, if any peritoneal related indication different from gynecological is used, then there is maximum chances of reimbursement. So, you need to check the reason for performing 49321.
   Yes, if the anatomical region is same I experienced difficulties practically for reimbursement even with many attempts of appeal.
