Hand assisted Laparoscopy

Does the coding differ when a surgeon uses "hand assisted" laparoscopy for a partial colectomy vs laproscopic partial colectomy? thanks!

There is no special code for hand-assisted laparoscopy procedures. Use the appropriate specific laparoscopy CPT code for the procedure or the unlisted laparoscopy CPT codes for the appropriate organ system.
