i have a dr that does a few hip scope procedures. he'll do a capsular release, iliopsoas lengthening, cam decompression (FAI) in 1 session. My question is - is it ok to bill out 2 or 3 29999 unlisted procedues for the above procedures? Will the insurnace company have a field day denying these even though I send a cover letter explaing the procedures done + the op report.

My concern is they will bundle and/or deny all. (These are usually done with a synovectomy & labral debridement - 29862, 29863).

Thanks for your input. My Dr hates unlisted codes and waiting for his $$$.:eek:
