Heads up, always include a diagnosis when asking about an orthopedic procedure. As you can see, just knowing what was performed is not enough. As Amy has pointed out the capsular release could be reported as/with 29822, 29823, 29825 and others as well. The diagnosis and other procedures performed must always be considered as well.Hi, need help with an arthroscopic capsular release of the shoulder. Would this be coded with 29822/29823?
