Billing for ICG Dye

Question:

The surgeon did a robotic/laparoscopic cholecystectomy and cholangiogram with ICG and firefly identification of biliary anatomy. He billed a 47563. Can he can bill separately for the icy green and firefly dye?

Answer:

Billing for indocyanine (ICG) or Firefly TM fluorescence is bundled into 47563 laparoscopic cholecystectomy with cholangiogram and is not separately billable.
