I'm confused. Two surgeons operated on pt. performing olecranon osteotomy, lesion currettage, and an osteochondral allograft of the trochlear defect. Dr. #1 performed olecranon osteotomy to expose the wound. Dr. #2 excised the tumor. Then Dr. #1 "prepared a fresh osteochondral graft from a glenoid socket". Dr. #2 wants to use CPT 24110 for his portion of the surgery. Dr. #1 is using CPT 24999 for the osteochondral graft. He has a handwritten note on his bill slip that this procedure is comparable to CPT 27415 "Osteochondral allograft, knee,open" (this note is not made in the actual OP note which is a problem). I was thinking that that CPT 24116 "Excision or currettage of bone cyst or benign tumor, humerus; with allograft." I would have both docs use Mod 62. Any help is really appreciated. Thanks.
