29822 vs 29823
Does the physician have to document "extensive" before we code 29823?

Or can we bump up to 29823 if these were documented?
• Removal of osteochondral and/or chondral bodies AND
• Biceps tendon & rotator cuff debridement AND
• Abrasion arthroplasty

The more I research these codes the more I confuse myself. Please help me...I start this audit on Monday.
