I have an insurance company that is bundling an ACL reconstruction with a medial meniscectomy. They also suggest that we use the G0289 with the ACL reconstruction, but the G0289 is only for additional procedures done in different compartment of the knee and the ACL is not done in a compartment???? Does anybody have any documentation regarding this situation?
 
bundled meniscectomy

29888 and 29881-51, you did not need the 59 modifier since this is not a CCI edit. G0289 (29877) Arthroscopy,knee,surgical debridement/shaving of articular cartilage[chondroplasty] you would use either or depending on the payer. Would like to have seen op note. Hope this helps.
