Wiki 29824 denied for bundling with 29827

I'm at my wits end. A Blue Cross Medicare Advantage plan is denying CPT 29824 as being bundled with 29827. Both procedures were most definitely done. I tried billing with a modifier 51 and it's still denied as bundled. Chart notes have been submitted. They insist that this code is bundled into the rotator cuff repair and not separately billable.

Any suggestions? Medicare links? Anything?

Any help would be appreciated.
