Tendon Repairs

Orthopaedics
Written By William Via

Question:

Can you provide additional clarification regarding correct selection for your tendon repair? AMA states code selection should be where the tendon is repaired not the originating area of the tendon.

Answer:

We appreciate you reaching out. AMA guidance is correct for repairing of tendons.  CPT code selection for tendon repairs with grafts are based on the recipient site not the donor site.
