Final answer:

The correct codes for a laparoscopic cholecystectomy with percutaneous removal of common bile duct stones are CPT code 47562 for laparoscopic cholecystectomy and CPT code 74328 for percutaneous removal of common bile duct stones.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct codes for a laparoscopic cholecystectomy with percutaneous removal of common bile duct stones are:

  1. CPT code 47562 for laparoscopic cholecystectomy
  2. CPT code 74328 for percutaneous removal of common bile duct stones

During a laparoscopic cholecystectomy, the gallbladder is removed using a laparoscope inserted through small incisions in the abdomen. Percutaneous removal of common bile duct stones involves using a needle or catheter to remove stones from the common bile duct. These procedures can be coded separately based on the specific services performed.
