My surgeon did a partial menisectomy on part of the lateral meniscus and then repaired with a suture the other tear in the
lateral meniscus. He wants to bill a 29882 and a 29881 for this
in the same compartment. I feel that he should just charge for
the 29882 as this is the most comprehensive procedure, as the
29881 would be incidental since he is doing all this in the same
compartment.
