Hello!

I was just wanting to clarify something with the code 20999 with bone marrow is being used for bone grafting.
Is it right to only bill the code 20999 for bone marrow and then use 20900 for grafting when you have a procedure that includes taking bone from a proximal tibia along with the bone marrow? This was a separate incision from the calcaneous ORIF that was done.

Any help would be appreciated.
