I know that chondroplasty is now included in 29881 and 29880.
What about loose bodies?
If you have a medial menisectomy and a 1 cm loose body in the lateral compartment, I would ordinarily code 29881 and G0289.
I have had a denial from an insurance carrier who is insisting that the loose body would also be included in the menisecotmy. Any thoughts ?
