Wiki Cpt 28750

When the provider does the first mpj arthrodesis is the synovectomy code included with procedure code 28750 or can it be billed in addition? 28072 synovectomy code

These codes hit an edit

Synovectomy is bundled into major procedures. If it's performed in the same anatomical location of another major procedure, it will bundle.

thanks. I tried telling the doc that and they were giving me a hard time. Just wanted to get confirmation that my thinking was correct.

Mray906 - I have a podiatrist who keeps trying to bill a double osteotomy because he does a "V" cut! Yikes!
