I am seeking guidance on which would be the correct code to use for Bone Marrow aspiration w/Bone graft other than spine. There seems to be a contradiction in the guidelines/instructions regarding 20939 and 38232. Others have stated that 20999 should be used. Has anyone had any experience with these codes. Thank you

It does state under add-on code +20939, (For aspiration of bone marrow for the purpose of bone grafting, other than spine surgery and other therapeutic musculoskeletal applications, use 20999)
