I have a question about codes 29822 and code 29823. What is the difference between the two codes? What makes the procedure done extensive? Is there a place I can read about the 2 codes? I did look in the coding companion and it did not explain the difference. Thanks for the help.
 
Shoulder

when a debriment is done in the shoulder for it to be an extensive debriment it must be performed, and documented, that it was done in 2 of the 3 billable compartments - i.e. glenohumeral joint, subacrominal space or acromioclavicular joint.

hope this helps a little bit as it can be a little confusing
