I have a Medicare-Novitas patient
cci is stating that 27340 is incl with 27360, but the reason for the surgery was more for the excision of prepatellar bursa excision.
doctor did a partial exostectomy of the superior patellar osetophyte, and I 7 D of the bursa(27301 included though)

**patient’s history was prepatellar bursal swelling & build up of fluid w/ positive staph aureus
I am looking at coding only 27340 – does anyone else agree or disagree
suggests please.
thanks
Barb
