Dr has advised me I should be coding the rotator cuff repair with 29827 & 29827-59 because the repair of the subscapularis tendon tear was completely separate from the repair done through the bursa through separate portals required to repair the supraspinatus cuff tendon rear. I can't find anything to back this up. Does anyone know if I can bill the repair this way?

Thanks!
