Wiki Arthroscopic Olcecranon Bursectomy

[OOSMCcoding]

Good Morning: I am looking for an arthrosopic code for an Olecranon Bursectomy. I was looking at 29837 but think I may need to use an unlisted code......Please help. Allie

I would tend to lean towards 29837 also. It's tough & I haven't been able to find any guidance on it in searches. Possibly 29835?

Unlisted arthroscopic procedure with 24105 as the comparable code seems the better way too go. 29837 and 29835 are not for bursa excisions
