Wiki Hand Surgery HELP! - RASL procedure

[annr420]

Does anyone know what the CPT code is for RASL (reduction-association scapholunate)???? Dx: "capitolunate disassociation of left wrist". Is there any such thing as a "modified" RASL? If not, should I add mod 52 to the procedure code, whatever it may be? Apparently this is an arthroscopic procedure..

this is kind of hard to assist with without the op note, but look at 29847???

Thank You!

Thanks, based on the op report, I think your answer is right on! Do you know where I might be able to get reference material specific to coding for Hand Surgery?
