Wiki Remplissage procedure

[duerheimergm]

procedure is arthroscopic Bankart repair iwth Remplissage procedure.

Do I code the Remplissage as unlisted?

from everything I have read, this is more of a technique used that doesnt require any additional incisions/portals. I dont think it will qualify for an additional code. This is only my opinion without seeing an op note that addresses one though.

remplissage procedure with bankart repair

Hi Gerri,
I did some research into this type of procedure and came up with CPT 29806 for the arthroscopic bankart repair and I agree with you that your only other choice to bill the remplissage procedure is the unlisted arthroscopic code 29999.
Thank you,
Shelly
