I have two questions regarding a gluteus medius tear and a total hip.
My doc went in to do a total hip and found a gluteus medius tear which he repaired after replacing the hip, all was done thru the same incision. I am thinking that his may be payable separately but not totally sure. So my first question on this is, is it appropriate to bill these together?
Also, if I can bill for these separately, am I right to use an unlisted and compare it to 27385 or would this be 27006? I am getting conflicting info on this with my research.
