I lied - I have one more shoulder
DX: AC jt OA, partial thickness articular sided rotator cuff tear, impingement syndrome, chondromalacia and labral tear, adhesions in the anterior capsule
PROC: Lysis of adhesions, debride labrum and chondroplasty, subac decomp, debridement of rotator cuff tear, distal clavicle excision and partial synovectomy.
I coded it as 29826, 29824-51, 29825-51, 29822-51
How did I do? Questioning of 29823 should have been used instead of 29822.
Does anyone have a clear cut explanation of the "Back and front" - what does that constitute - which compartments, etc.???
Again this is BS.
Sorry I am just nervous now!!
