Can someone help with the above CPT? I'm looking at 29877 . 29880 was done also. Also need help with the diagnosis for the bony prominences. The op note is attached.
Thank you,

bony promience M89.8x
you can't bill a 29880 or 29881 with 29877
Arthroscopy, knee, surgical; with meniscectomy (medial AND lateral, including any meniscal shaving) including debridement/shaving of articular cartilage (chondroplasty), same or separate compartment(s), when performed

You're correct. I decided to go with meniscectomy only. Thank you,
