What is everyone using for a SLAP tear that they physician dictates as non-traumatic?
How about a non-traumatic shoulder labral tear that is not a SLAP?
We have looked at and discussed the M24 set and the M75 set and were recently instructed by a higher up (that is very educated) to use the S43.43 set for SLAP and the S43.49 set for non-traumatic, non-SLAP area labral tears in the shoulder.
I thought the "S" codes were only for injuries? Any info would be greatly appreciated!
