29807 and 29822
Can you bill 29807 with a 29822 or is this considered bundling?
Thanks in advance
re: 29807 and 29822
CPT® 29822 cov ers limited debridement of soft or hard tissue. Use it for limited labral debridement, cuff debridement or the removal of osteoph tes and degenerative cartilage. CPT® 29822 covers limited debridement of soft or hard tissue. Use it for limited labral debridement, cuff debridement or the removal of osteophytes and
degenerative cartilage.
29807- Simply because a labrum is torn and repaired, it doesn’t automatically warrant reporting 29807 if the torn labrum isn’t a SLAP (superior labrum from anterior to posterior) tear. CPT® 29807 is specific for a SLAP repair; don’t use it for labral tears that aren’t SLAP tears.The surgeon will determine whether there is a true SLAP tear and also the type” of SLAP.
Payors may consider 29822 as included in 29807.
