29823 arthroscopy shoulder surgical with debridement extensive : is bundling with 29824 (mumford) I have used a modifier 59 and operative does support the debridement , however my denials are still upheld , I donot see any edits that say that its inclusive
 
This is dependant of carrier, but for those who follow NCCI edits, the shoulder is a single anatomical site and it is never appropriate to unbundle (use modifier 59) unless the procedures are performed on contralateral shoulders.
