Would I be correct in using CPT 27487, which is actually revision of femoral and tibia components
Or use 27486 x 2
Thanks
Thanks in advance for your input! If you have any reference material that would be greatly appreciated, too.

Assessment and Plan
Patient is a 61 year old male in for follow up on his blood work. He has seen his chemical toxin screen and is working on detoxifying with dietary changes and lifestyle changes. His estradiol is a little high and this speaks to that fact that he is producing a little too much aromatase and converting his DHEA or testosterone to estrogen. Decreasing the insulin in his system through a lower carbohydrate diet will help this. His cholesterol panel is good. He has not signs of diabetes. His homocysteine level is high normal so he needs an MTHFR and this was drawn today. He looked a little dry on his CBC. Will monitor. His vitamin D is low and he will start replacement.
*
E72.11 Elevated homocysteine (HCC) (primary encounter diagnosis)
Plan : COLLECTION, VENOUS BLOOD, VENIPUNCTURE
MTHFR DNA MUTATION ANALYSIS
