How would I code arthroscopic repair of lateral meniscus tear, right knee, with blood clot augmentation? My doctor has chosen 29882 with 20926. Would this be accurate?
 
coding for blood clot augmentation

This procedure should be reported with 29882 alone ideally.

But if you want to report blood clot also, the code will be 86999 as the blood is drawn from the patient and clot prepared from it which in turn is inserted over the meniscus repair to promote healing.
