Wiki Allograft

[Kestrelwa]

Is there a HCPCS code for freeze dried bone allograft? The only thing that I can come up with is C1762. Has anyone out there billed for the allograft or is it bundled into the procedure?

Too funny! I was just logging on to ask the same question. I asked two different coders withen our corporation and one said C1762 and the other said L8699 w/an invoice. I lean towards the C1762. Anyone else?

I use L8699 for bone graft. I use C1776 for my ACL's type grafts.

Bone is considered a form of connective tissue so that is why I chose L8699.
