Orthopedic coding
« on: September 20, 2018, 12:55:31 PM »
I recently billed Humana for the following codes:

29823 RT- debridement extensive
23120 51 Rt  These got paid- claviculectomy partial

29821 59 RT- synovectomy complete
23700 59 RT- Manipulation under anesthesia shoulder joint
29805 59 RT -Arthroscopy shoulder diagnostic
These got denied as bundled. 

When I looked in the CCI edits those codes are allowed with a modifier.   Any ideas on how I can rebuttal this? 

Thank you
MR

The documentation I have indicates that the 29805 and 29821 are included in with the 29823.
