Wiki CARPAL TUNNEL IN OFFICE- CPT 29848

[ashlundgreen]

Some of our payors are denying a 29848 to be done in office stating that the CMS guidelines will not pay for them done in office, however we cannot locate that information and we have had multiple medicare patients have this procedure done in office and they were covered.
Anyone have any ideas or updates on what might be going on?
Thanks,

29848 is the endoscopic procedure. Is carpal tunnel release code 64721 perhaps being done in office instead?
