Wiki Manipulation Under Anesthesia

[tbensonite]

Can anybody help me with the diagnosis for MUA S/P TKA? I billed 27570 with dx of T84.82XA and Z96.652 and it was denied twice due to MUA Policy stating not reimburseable for these submitted diagnoses. I've never had this denied with this dx code before.

Thanks.

What is the insurance?
I have been getting policy denials for this code in the past 6 months.

Most insurance companies will reimburse the code M24.661 (ankylosis right knee) or M24.662 (ankylosis left knee) if the range of motion is <90 degrees 4 weeks to 6 months post op.
