The patient came with chronic cholecystitis and the physician did laparoscopic cholecystectomy. What are the ICD and CPT codes that should be reported ?

1 575.11 Chronic Cholecystitis
PX CODE DESCRIPTION
1 51.23 Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy

Note: The physician may also perform cholangiography and/or exploration of common duct with laparoscopic cholecystectomy. If either of these services are also performed along with laparoscopic cholecystectomy than there are combination CPT codes for laparoscopic cholecystectomy with cholangiography and laparoscopic cholecystectomy with exploration of common duct as follows:
47563 Laparoscopic cholecystectomy with cholangiography
47564 Laparoscopic cholecystectomy with exploration of common duct
