What is the difference between the limited debridement in code 29822 and the extensive debridement in code 29823? I have a note where the doctor debrided the labrum, debrided the humeral head, performed a chondroplasty of the glenoid, removed a spur from the humberal head, shaved the biceps tendon and completed a bursectomy. He wants to code a 29822, but I'm thinking that it's more than that. Any help is greatly appreciated! Thank you!
