24359CPT Code: 24359 Tennis Elbow surgery (called lateral epicondylitis debridement) involves creating a series of small incisions around the elbow and accessing the diseased bones, cartilage, ligaments, or tendons via an arthroscopic camera, which allows the surgeon to view the procedure on a monitor.

M77.11ICD-10 Code for Lateral epicondylitis, right elbow- M77. 11- Codify by AAPC.
CPT code 20550 defines an injection to the tendon sheath; CPT code 20551 defines an injection to the origin/insertion site of a tendon. CPT code 20550 is frequently used for a trigger finger injection, where the injection is administered to the tendon sheath.
Tennis Elbow surgery (called lateral epicondylitis debridement) involves creating a series of small incisions around the elbow and accessing the diseased bones, cartilage, ligaments, or tendons via an arthroscopic camera, which allows the surgeon to view the procedure on a monitor.
The elbow joint is made up of the bone in the upper arm (the humerus) and one of the bones in the lower arm (ulna). The bony prominences, or bumps, at the bottom of the humerus are called the epicondyles. The bump on the outer side of the elbow is called the lateral epicondyle.
The bony bump on the outside (lateral side) of the elbow is called the lateral epicondyle. The ECRB muscle and tendon is usually involved in tennis elbow. Muscles, ligaments, and tendons hold the elbow joint together.
To note, supported CPT is 24358 which is also incidental to 64718. Modifier not supported as done through same incision and documentation does not support separate distinct procedure.”
