Will someone please advise which is the correct code for a deltoid ligament repair (27814 or 27698)... The diagnosis is "ligament insufficiency". Please clarify the difference.

Thank You
 
Deltoid ligament repair for a current injury would be 27695, but it sounds like from your diagnosis that this is an old injury, so I think 27698 would be right. The code 27814 is open txmt bimalleolar ankle fx, so would not be the code for the ligament repair.
 
Thanks... The doctor confused me initially. He kept arguing with me about using the fracture code. I still billed the 27698.
