For this knee surgery, I billed
29888 for the ACL repair
29882 for the Medial Meniscal Repair
29881 for the Lateral Menisectomy
The insurance company has paid the 29888 and 29881, but denies the 29882 [meniscal repair]
I need to Appeal the denial of the 29882 for the repair of the meniscus
Am I correct that these 3 codes can be billed together. If someone has had to appeal this coding also, would like some guidance on what to include in my letter that would be effective in getting this claim paid.
Thank you one and all,
Carol
