What 47562 covers

A surgeon removes the gallbladder through laparoscopic ports, typically for symptomatic gallstones or gallbladder inflammation. The operation is commonly performed in a hospital or ambulatory surgery setting. This code describes the laparoscopic removal without the additional duct imaging or common bile duct exploration represented by related cholecystectomy codes.

Select the code based on the operative report: it should support the laparoscopic approach and gallbladder removal, and establish whether cholangiography or duct exploration was performed. The 90-day global period includes the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care. When multiple procedures are performed in one session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and other procedures are subject to the standard 50% reduction. Modifier 50 is not appropriate for this single-gallbladder operation. An assistant at surgery may be paid; co-surgeons require supporting documentation, and team surgery is not permitted.
