Wiki Arthroscopic Biceps Tenotomy

[Thath041]

When is it appropriate to bill this ? My practice has been billing it using 29999 since unlisted codes have no bundling guidelines .

However it is getting denied as bundled with debridement per Regence

EG:
29827
+29826
29999 (arthroscopic biceps tenotomy)


Thank you
