Hello,
Hope you can help...Dr did left AC joint reconstruction with hamstring allograft tendon.
I used 23550 for ac joint reconstruction, I cant use 23552 for with fascial graft because that is for harvesting graft from pt and Allograft is from a cadaver so is there a code I could use for allograft tendon? I saw Allograft skin but that wont work, and 20924 is not from cadaver.
Should I add 22 mod on 23550 or just code as 23550 no mod?
Appreciate the help.
Thanks.

23550-22 would be the appropriate code/modifier for this
