Do not report both the open and arthroscopic codes with modifier 59 because the work was performed in the same anatomic location during the session. Coding for arthroscopic shoulder surgery is complex, and coding errors are common. Although the information in this article is not exhaustive, it’s important.
Three areas generally recognized as part of the shoulder are the: 1 Glenohumeral joint, 2 Acromioclavicular joint, and 3 Subacromial bursal space.
CPT® code 29822 Arthroscopy, shoulder, surgical; debridement, limited includes debridement of soft or hard tissue. Debridement in a single area of the shoulder is considered limited debridement. CPT® code 29823 Arthroscopy, shoulder, surgical; debridement, extensiv e includes debridement of multiple soft structures, multiple hard structures, or a combination of both.#N#Limited and extensive debridement are included in other shoulder arthroscopy procedures, even if the debridement is performed in a different area of the same shoulder than the primary procedure. There are three exceptions to this rule. Per National Correct Coding Initiative (NCCI) edit guidelines, extensive debridement (CPT® 29823) performed in a different area of the same shoulder with any of the following arthroscopic shoulder procedures may be reported separately:#N#29824 Arthroscopy, shoulder, surgical; distal claviculectomy including distal articular surface (Mumford procedure)#N#29827 with rotator cuff repair#N#29828 biceps tenodesis#N#Example: When an arthroscopic rotator cuff repair with debridement of the biceps tendon and debridement of the labrum is performed, you may report 29827 and 29823 because the bundling edit is removed from this code combination.#N#When an arthroscopic repair of a superior labrum anterior and posterior (SLAP) lesion is performed with debridement of the labrum and biceps tendon on the same shoulder, however, you may only report CPT® 29807 Arthroscopy, shoulder, surgical; repair of SLAP lesion. Per NCCI guidelines, the debridement (29823) is considered included in the primary procedure when performed on the same shoulder.
Type III: A bucket-handle tear of the labrum, where the torn part of the labrum hangs into the joint. Type IV: The torn labrum extends all the way into the biceps tendon. Check the documentation to identify where on the labrum the surgery was performed. Many surgeons refer to “clock” positions.
Shoulder Anatomy. Three areas generally recognized as part of the shoulder are the: Glenohumeral joint, Acromioclavicular joint, and. Subacromial bursal space. The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), however, considers the shoulder to be a single anatomic structure.
Some arthroscopic procedures require immediate conversion to an open surgical procedure. When this happens, you may only report the open surgical procedure. However, you may append modifier 22 to the open procedure code to support the additional work performed arthroscopically.
The shoulder is a complex joint, and proper coding for shoulder procedures requires a strong foundation of knowledge in anatomy and physiology. Shoulder arthroscopy codes particularly can be confusing as the guidelines for arthroscopic shoulder surgeries have changed considerably in the last decade. Here are some essential points to understand about arthroscopic shoulder surgery coding and documentation.
