Wiki Invalid code Medicare

[PLAIDMAN]

Has anyone heard of 27215 being an invalid code for medicare??
Where can I find this information?

If that procedure is what was done then how else would I code it??

Thanks for any help

Medicare has a "G" code for 27215. It is G0412.

The AAOS has a good article on this. Click on Table 1 under the heading...

"Understanding the shift"


This will provide the crosswalk code for this code as well as others...
