Information for Patients
Your jaw is a set of bones that holds your teeth. It consists of two main parts. The upper part is the maxilla. It doesn't move. The moveable lower part is called the mandible. You move it when you talk or chew. The two halves of the mandible meet at your chin. The joint where the mandible meets your skull is the temporomandibular joint.

General Equivalence Map Definitions The ICD-9 and ICD-10 GEMs are used to facilitate linking between the diagnosis codes in ICD-9-CM and the new ICD-10-CM code set. The GEMs are the raw material from which providers, health information vendors and payers can derive specific applied mappings to meet their needs.
What is 28122 code?
I would use the 28122- I was taught "bossing" is same as exostosis.#N#You will have to pick your codes- then look to see if codes are included with each other (under medicare or commercial)#N#my orthopaedic dictionary definition for bossing (28122) is "rounded prominence of bone that is abnormally visible under the skin" - exostosis " excess bone formation"#N#It may not necessarily be "visible" but they are both bony prominences.#N#I would think 28122 would be most appropriate, I would not code something the doc specifically says is an exostosis, as a tumor or cyst.#N#Sounds good right?
Is exostosis the same as bone cyst?
Exostosis is NOT the same as a bone cyst/benign tumor. I read somewhere years ago the same thing you mentioned - 'bossing' should point you to 'removal of bone or excess bone' as in 'part of the bone' as in 28122. BUT - look at the CPT section for leg and ankle joints.
