Hoping someone can help with this one. I am not agreeing with my provider on this one.

Op Report states:

"Standard arthroscopy portals were performed, anteromedial, anterolateral and superomedial.

A fair amount of synovitis was noted throughout the entire knee joint and synovectomy was performed.

After synovectomy was performed I was able to visualize all the compartments of the knee. Patellofemoral joint was within normal limits.

Medial compartment of knee shows a tear of the posterior horn of the medial meniscus, partial meniscectomy was performed. Also a tear of the anterior horn of the medial meniscus was seen and partial meniscectomy was performed.

In the intercondylar notch the anterior cruciate ligament was intact. In the lateral compartment of the knee the radial tear of the free edge of the body of the meniscus was seen and partial meniscectomy was performed until stable edges were seen. All debris was extracted and portals closed."

Physician wants to bill 29876 and G0289. I think only 29876. Any thoughts?

Thank you!!!
