Hello everyone,
Lately I have been receiving denials from Work Comp carriers stating that in order to bill for a distal claviculectomy(29824), 8.0 to 10mm has to be removed in order to bill with other codes such as 29827,29826. Medicare has no such restrictions. AAOS had a stipulation back in 2004 that it had to be 1cm, but apparently that has been removed. I can't seem to find anything in writing. Can someone help!
Thanks,
Judy
