I am struggling (as you probably have noticed) with the codes 29822 and 29823. What exactly is "back and front"? I have gone over the anatomy and multiple coding examples but am still confused.
What combinations constitute the use of 29823 vs 29822. So if the physician does a debridement of a biceps tendon and a subscapularis tendon is that a 29823?
If a physician performs a debridement of a labral tear and biceps is that 29822?
If a physican performs a glenohumeral chondroplasty, labral debridement is that a 29822?
I am so confused cuz each doc gives me a different answer.
Please help!!
Thank you
