Hello,

I'm looking for coding assistance for cpt code 27570. I have an operative report for knee manipulation performed 1 month after a TKA, which was performed under IV sedation. Cpt code 27570 states " manipulation of knee joint under general anesthesia". Account was coded with cpt code 27599 and the insurance is denying for not appropriate code due to other more defined code available. The claim denial was appealed and decision was upheld with correct denial.

Has anyone else encountered a denial for 27599 in these circumstances?

Thank you in advance for your help
