Know that wHAT can be coded CPT 58662.

The code 58662 (laparoscopy; surgical; with fulguration of lesions of ovary or pelvic viscera or peritoneal skin by any method) would include the treatment of left ovarian excrescences. However, it does not cover adhesion lysis. Because they consider it to be incidental, many payers bundle this procedure.

Can CPT code 58661 also be charged with 58662

These codes are not bundled by the Correct Coding Initiative (CCI). You would then apply modifier 51 (Multiple procedures), to 58661. If your payer bundles 58661 or 58662, and you know that the surgery is at two different locations, you would add modifier 59 (Distinct procedureal service) to the code the payer has bundled.
