Need your help!! Patient had a partial lateral menisectomy. Patient also had an excision of medial thickened plica band and excision of thickened synovium over the anteromedial compartment. I billed a 29881 (lateral compartment) and a 29875 with 59 modifier (medial compartment). The insurance company is telling me that the 29875 is included in the 29881 because of the 2012 CPT definition of code 29881 and will not pay for the
29875. I was always told if it was in a different compartment we could bill for this. Is this not correct anymore? Thanks for any help you can give me.
