One of my physician's did a patellectomy via scope. CPT 27350 does not specify in the books I have whether it's arthroscopically or open. Does anyone know? Or does it not matter either way?? Help!


Thanks!
 
This is an open procedure, the description is ....' a transverse "u" shaped incision is made over the anterior aspect of the knee joint just below the patella......', if your Dr. did the procedure via scope, then I would use the unlisted scope code 29999. Scope codes began @ 29800 through 29999.
