Discussion and research is ongoing regarding a tenex procedure on elbows within our coding/orthopedic group. What we have found is some say to use the unlisted code of 24999 and some say 24357. Below is a copy of the provider's op note and I am prone to use code 24357 as to me it explains the procedure better than using an unlisted code. Patient's insurance company is denying stating this procedure is experimental. Anyone have thoughts or wisdom to pass on, please?
Thank you,
Cindy
