Need assistance- i believe that ACL debridement is inclusive to meniscectomy 29881/ 29880.
Only a debridement is being done to the ACL, no drilling or attachment of ligaments is being performed. This is how the note reads.
" The anterior cruciate ligament was partially torn with some fraying but 90% intact and this was debrided with the shaver and examination under anesthesia revealed no instability and good tracking of the patella".
If you could provide some information that i could submit to the Doctor's as proof that this procedure is bundled with the Meniscectomy i would appreciate it or just clarify if this would be billable.
Thank you,
Mimi
