Is it acceptable to bill out a 29888, 29889 (posterior/anterior cruciate repair) along with 27405 (collateral repair). BC/BS is denying the 27405 as inclusive yet it's not in the CCI edits.

Thanks. One of the problems that I'm having is getting the correct information as to what can go with what (I usually use the CCI edits) and what allows a procedure to be unbundled w/o sending up any red flags (aka 59 mod). Is there a website (other than AAPC) that will give me the correct coding information for denied surgeries.
I just want to make sure when a procedure is denied/bundled it is not the insurance company just trying to get out of paying multiple procedures.
Thanks
