My doctor is trying to code for a shoulder anterior and posterior labral repair separately, with 29806 for anterior and an unlisted procedure for the posterior labrum with comparison code 23465. Is this correct?? It doesn't seem correct to me to bill these separately, but the doctor is insistent. And 29806 bundles with 23465 so I don't think that comparison code would work anyways. Any suggestions?

Thank you!!
 
Hi, I don't think you can code that procedure separately if what the surgeon did was SLAP, you have to code it with one unit of 29807. Check the supercoder for more information on this.
