29874 is billable if:
  • Used a larger arthroscopic cannula than you used for any other procedures performed,
  • Enlarged an arthroscopic portal to facilitate removal of the loose or foreign body, or
  • Created a separate incision in order to removal the loose or foreign body.
If the surgeon enlarged the portal to remove a 2.5 cm loose body, will an appeal overturn the denial as inclusive to 29877?
