Dr. did scope removal of chondromalacia in ankle. He then removed the scope and extended the potal to allow access to the loose body which was removed in a sharp manner. I'm can't find a CPT for the loose body removal. He didn't do an arthrotomy so I'm not sure that 27620 would be appropriate but can't find anything else. Dr gave me 28090 which I don't agree with. Any comments?
Thanks,
