Wiki arthroscopic it band release

[tmgexp1@yahoo.com]

Is there truly no cpt code for this procedure?! I have used the 29999 unlisted, however there are no rvu's with this code. It seems a shame that the physician does this procedure and does not get reimbursed. My doc does not go into the hip at all, therefore I cannot use any of the arthroscopic hip codes. Any help would be appreciated.

You are correct with unlisted

You should use a comparison code, get the unlisted code authorized and you should receive payment.
