Answer:

The answer is: 49321-51 and 58661

Step-by-step explanation:

Report 49321 code for laparoscopy, surgical; with biopsy.

The 51 modifier is used when there are multiple procedures performed on the same session or are performed together.

Code 58661 describes partial or total oophorectomy and/or salpingectomy. Looking up ovarian cystectomy in the index of CPT, you are referred to code 58661 for that portion of the procedure also.
