Can someone direct me to where I can find written guidelines that state if a provider can bill for repair of an injury sustained during another procedure. My specific case is a lap appendectomy with the appendix behind the cecum and adherent to the small intestine. During dissection the cecum sustained a 2 cm enterotomy. There was no leakage. Is this repair billable?

I would greatly appreciate some guidance and something I can show my provider.

Thank you.
