Hi All,
I have a question regarding 20680.
Patient had previous arthroscopic labral repair. Surgeon is now going in to perform a biceps tenodesis on same shoulder. While he is in the shoulder he removes a suture from previous repair and he would like to bill 20680 for that suture removal. Is this acceptable? Is a suture considered "hardware"?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
