Hello,
I have an op report which reports pt has a partial medial menisectomy and while performing surgery encountered in the area of the patellar tendon a large orange-brown mass which physician removed arthroscopically. I billed the menisectomy, but I'm thinking that I will have to code the mass removal with an unlisted code. Am I coding this correctly?
