Sometimes the simplest concepts can be the most challenging to navigate. Take CPT code 29826, for instance, which describes decompression of the subacromial space “with” acromioplasty. Does this imply that both procedures—the decompression (bursectomy) and the acromioplasty—must be performed to report this code? Consider another example: CPT code 29824 for distal claviculectomy. Does the amount of distal clavicle removed really affect whether this code can be reported? These questions will be addressed, along with a discussion of additional services such as the subacromial balloon spacer and Arthroscopic Superior Capsular Reconstruction (ASCR), including updates on carrier policies.
