Happy 2010 to everyone, I just need some advice about a knee surgery. I know arthroscopic debridement of the ACL is an unlisted code but if it is done at the same time as a tricompartment synovectomy and a chondroplasty of the femoral groove, medial femoral condyle and medial tibial plateau along with a 29880, would the debridement be considered bundled? Is the ACL included in the patella/femoral compartment?
His note said:
the femoral notch was inspected and ACL appeared to be somewhat hemorrhagic and partially torn, the ACL was debrided and the anterior part was approximately 30% and appeared to be functioning
Should I use the unlisted 29999 or is it bundled? Thanks, Paula
