H.E.L.P. !!!
Can I bill the rotator cuff repair with the ORIF of the greater tuberosity fracture? I checked the NCCI edits 23630 and 23410 have a 1 indicator. According to the NCCI edits I don't think I should but maybe some of you have some advice.
Thanks so much!
 
Think of it this way

When the greater tuberosity breaks, the rotator cuff tendons are going to tear as well so the repair would be included with fracture repair.

Same for patellar dislocation. The patella can't dislocate without the MPFL tearing (according to my doc anyway).
