Good afternoon All,
I was wondering if any of you can help me, my provider keeps submitting this cpt code combo: 27446 (partial knee replacement) and 27430 (quadricepsplasty). I have read articles on line and all of them say "no" you cannot bill these codes together but there's no information as to why you cannot bill that way. I have asked my provider to stop submitting these codes furthermore, I explained to him that if the only diagnosis he is documenting is knee osteoarthritis without any evidence of knee contracture these two codes cannot be billed together. His response was "there is no cci edits I should be able to bill those codes". Please someone clarify this for me.
Thank you,
