Wiki 29879 abrasion arthroplasty

[scooter1]

Doctor did a microfracture abrasion arthroplasty in the medial and the lateral compartments of the knee. Can we code for each compartment or only the one
time ? I have not had this one before.
Thank you

29879 can be reported for each knee compartment w/59 modifier.
