2024 The Anatomy of Coding Educational Series – Shoulder
$159.00
Sometimes it seems the simple things are the most difficult. For example, CPT code 29826 states decompression of the subacromial space with acromioplasty. Is it necessary to perform a bursectomy for subacromial decompression and the acromioplasty or if the physician only performs the acromioplasty alone can you still report 29826? I have also heard that the AMA may back off its assertion that 8-10mm of the distal clavicle must be removed in order to report 29824. Join us for clarification on shoulder procedures and any updates that may be available from the AMA.
