MY DOC STATES HE'S LIKELY DOING THE FOLLOWING PROCEDURES AND IS ASKING FOR THE CODE(S) AHEAD OF TIME FOR THIS SURGERY..
"RT knee open patellar tendon debridement/excision of calcium deposit(s)/spur; probable Arthrocare Topaz tenotomy; possible soft tissue grafting." DX ARE PATELLAR TENDON CALCIUM DEPOSITS AND TENDINITIS 727.82 & 726.64
HE'S GOT AN OPEN PATELLAR TENOTOMY LISTED HERE AND SAYS HE'LL BE USING THE ARTHROCARE TOPAZ (WHICH I BELIEVE ARE THE TYPE OF TOOLS HE'D USE). BUT I CAN ONLY FIND CODES FOR PERCUTANEOUS TENOTOMY (27306), OPEN FASCIOTOMY ILLIOTIBIAL <TENOTOMY> (27305), OR OPEN HAMSTRING TENOTOMY (27390).
ANYONE UP FOR THIS CHALLENGE? PLEASE RESPOND IF YOU CAN GIVE ME ANY HELP, I'M RUNNING OUT OF TIME ON THIS ONE.
THANKS!
