Total Shoulder Arthroplasty (TSA, including Reverse TSA) is billed as CPT code 23472; Shoulder Hemi-arthroplasty is CPT code 23470; Revision Shoulder Arthroplasty (one component- ball or socket revision) is CPT code 23473; Revision Shoulder Arthroplasty (both ball and socket) is CPT code 23474.
The AMA defines CPT code 23472 as “arthroplasty, glenohumeral joint; total shoulder (glenoid and proximal humeral replacement (eg, total shoulder)).” Current Procedural Terminology (CPT), Professional Edition (American Medical Association 2010).
Shoulder replacement removes damaged areas of bone and replaces them with parts made of metal and plastic (implants). This surgery is called shoulder arthroplasty (ARTH-row-plas-tee). The shoulder is a ball-and-socket joint. The round head (ball) of the upper arm bone fits into a shallow socket in the shoulder.
Arthroplasty is a surgical procedure to restore the function of a joint. A joint can be restored by resurfacing the bones. An artificial joint (called a prosthesis) may also be used. Various types of arthritis may affect the joints.
In a reverse shoulder replacement, the normal ball-and-socket structure is reversed. An artificial ball is attached to the shoulder blade. An artificial socket is attached to the top of the arm bone. The large deltoid muscle that covers the shoulder is typically able to move the arm.
Code 27447 (Arthroplasty, knee, condyle and plateau; medial AND lateral compartments with or without patella resurfacing [total knee arthroplasty]) does not describe inserting the prosthesis through the altered surgical field, which may have been previously infected or scarred.
If the surgeon performs capsulorrhaphy (29806) and a Mumford (29824) with extensive debridement of the rotator cuff repair and chondroplasty (29823), remember that NCCI bundles 29823 with 29806.

Total shoulder arthroplasty is becoming increasingly common. A biceps tenodesis or tenotomy has become a routine part of the operation. There are several advantages to a tenodesis or tenotomy.
