I am new AAPC member and across my studies I have come across a few bewildering problems.
Can someone please help me understand this answer.
Under a study op report listed is Total Knee Arthroscopy
what cpt and anesthesia code?
I answered 27447 and 01402-AA-P1 (Healthy patient, anesthesia administered by anesthesiologist)
The answer was only 01402-AA-P1
But if I look up 27477 on Codify, it tells me anesthesia is included in the surgical procedure and not billed separately.
So why is the answer 01402 ONLY and not Both or just 27447?
Thank you for any help.
