I have a surgeon that did a bilateral core decompression with pro-dense bone graft of the hip for avascular necrosis. There isn't a code for this and we were thinking of using 27170???? We looked in the desk reference...and it refers to a non-union fx..is this just for non-unions?
 
yes you can, it just depends on your contracts. The S codes are actually produced by BSBC so they almost always except them (if they are on your ASC contract list that is).
