What CPT code are you using for this. My doctor wants to bill 29876 Synovectomy, major, 2 or more compartments. Some research has indicated code 29884 for Lysis of adhesions. The synovectomy code indicates resection of Pathologic Synovial disease and not to be used for simply "cleaning up the joint". He is removing scar tissue – not synovium. Interested in what others are using for this.
