Wiki can these cpts be billed together?

[Shrina]

For arthroscopy, knee, plica resection with chondroplasty, can I bill 29875 with 29877 or does 29877 include the plica resection?

 

[Tracey Thompson]

According to CCI Edits 29877 is a component of 29875, but the compartment in which each procedure was performed will be a major determining factor.

For the best responses to specific scenario questions, post a HIPPA compliant copy of the operative note.

Hope this helps!!
