Greetings!
When a synovectomy (or I&D) is performed with a polyethylene exchange, (yet neither the tibial nor femoral components are removed), which code is most appropriate? From what I am seeing, we are to use the revision code with the -52 modifier. (?) Is this correct?
27486 - Revision of total knee arthoplasty, with or without allograft; 1 component
Modifier -52 Reduced Services
Thanks!![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
