HI
My provider's procedure was arthroscopy with synovectomy and a Brostrom repair.

Can I bill 27698 along with 29895? Or just the 27698 due to the arthroscopic procedure turned into an open procedure?

thanks for you help!!
 
Correct per NCCI Manual:

If an arthroscopic procedure is converted to an open procedure, only the open procedure may be reported. Neither a surgical arthroscopy nor a diagnostic arthroscopy code should be reported with the open procedure code when a surgical arthroscopic procedure is converted to an open procedure.
