I need some guidance – some articles say you can bill both 26055 (59)TFR along with flexor digitorum superficialis repair 26350
The insurance is a medicare advantage – that leads me directly to just 26350, but then maybe I have missed something.
Here is a part of the note: The patient has severe tendinosis with longitudinal tearing & fraying of the fds both proximal, distal and under the A1pulley. Debrided and repaired.
History: the patient had a fall -as a result she also had an orif of the distal radius repaired during the same session.
