I have a Medicare patient that had left knee arthroscopy with loose body removal and chondroplasty in the medial femoral condyle. From the op report it appears to be removed from the same compartment. I'm looking at CPT code 29877 for the procedure but since this is a Medicare patient & no other procedure was performed in a different compartment do I use 29877? I have had 29877 denied by Medicare as not recognizing 29877. Has anyone else had this problem & do you have any suggestions for me? Can the G0289 only be used when another arthroscopic procedure is done on the same knee/different compartment?
Thank you
Jody
