Good morning All,
I have a question regarding quadricepsplasty CPT code 27430, would the ICD-10 code M21.062 (valgus deformity, left knee) be sufficient enough to justify medical necessity of this procedure code? My provider is also billing 27446 (partial knee arthroplasty) which is being submitted with the dx of knee osteoarthritis. I know the quadricepsplasty is justified when there is knee contracture but how about valgus deformity? Please advise.
Thanks!!
