Wiki 29827 & 29806?

[lisahb7]

Appreciate assistance reviewing this op note. Is this 29827 & 29806-59? Surgeon states both performed, insurance denying 29806-59 (BCBS commercial). New to this, what am I overlooking or what is my error? Attached op note

This is appropriately 29806 and 29827. What was the justification for the denial?

29806 denied: Procedure code incidental to primary procedure, included in allowance for other procedure
