Patient had a total knee revision - only the femoral component and the poly liner were revised. I have notes that say to code 27487-52. However, the logical person that I am thinks 27486 is more appropriate. Doesn't seem right that the provider would get less credit (they get a reduction of half for a 52 modifier) for doing more work.
27487-52 (13.55 rvu) vs 27486 (21.12 rvu). Thoughts anyone??
