Hi All!
I'm still new to orthopedic coding and I am looking for help regarding CPT 29823. I bill for an ASC facility and after reviewing and provider's note, felt 29823 was supported in the documentation but we have are fighting with the insurance company re: the patient's claim so asked how the professional claim was billed & they felt 29823 was not supported. Here is part of the OP note;
I see 3 distinct structures superior labrum, supraspinatus, and subacrominal space which would support 29823 but am I reading too much into the note? Thoughts on whether documentation supports 29823 or not.
TIA
