allograft

can I code seperate for an application of a bone allograft when a Lapidus fusion is performed (28297) and if so what CPT® can I use

re: allograft

Lapidus type procedure This procedure is a distal soft tissue rearrangement and a proximal first metatarsal cunieform arthrodesis. AAOS states that this procedure includes (not separately billed): arthrotomy, tendon transfer or release, synovectomy, capsular release and/or reconstruction, removal of additional exostoses in the area of the joint, internal fixation, removal of bursal tissue, repair of released tendon, arthrodesis, tarsometatarsal joint, local bone graft, proximal first metatarsal osteotomy...............

and allows additional coding and report for: phalangeal osteotomy to correct deformity, harvesting and insertion of bone graft from distant site (separate skin or fascial incision) and ankle tendon lengthening.
