If the chondroplasty was done in a different compartment than the meniscectomy you can bill G0289. Be sure the op note supports billing this separately.
Yes..i work on the facility side and i use the g0289 on medicare cases only and use the 29877 -59 for non medicare.... Getting reimbursed with no problems,,,,,u are allowed 1 cpt code per compartment ..so i make sure the chondroplasty is done in a different compartment per op note documentation...
