Wiki arthroscopy 29877

[richelle25]

Can somebody please help me out on and ICD 10 issue I am having with Medicare. Whenever I bill out cpt code 29877 w/ chrondromalacia dx/ M22.41 or M22.42, Medicare denies. Any suggestions? I have searched LCD w/ no luck at all. Thanks

try using an injury code the S codes, we bill those all the time with the S codes (how they got hurt) and they pay

If Medicare, look into reporting G0289 instead of 29877....if billing with other arthroscopic codes.

Thank you for your response, I am billing 29877 alone.
