∙ 8y agoCPT 29884 is "Arthroscopy, knee, surgical; with lysis of adhesions, with or without manipulation (separate procedure)".
The provider examines the tissue inside the knee joint with an arthroscope. She inserts additional instruments to lyse, or destroy, adhesions, and restore free movement of the knee. She manipulates the knee as necessary.
Surgical endoscopy and arthroscopy always include a diagnostic endoscopy or arthroscopy code. Never use a diagnostic code with a surgical code. Don't forget to identify the specific anatomical site. Use the appropriate modifier, RT, Right side, and LT, Left side.
