CPT has codes for arthroscopic
meniscal repairs as well as arthroscopic menisectomies. All the Arthroscopic
meniscus related codes are unilateral codes and hence modifiers LT, RT, or 50
are required while reporting these services.
29881 Knee Menisectomy Medial or Lateral
29880 Knee Menisectomy Medial and Lateral
CPT menisectomy codes includes synovectomy, chondral debridement, and loose body removal and these services should not be reported seperately unless there is a different pathology or different knee compartment involved in which case these services can be reported seperately with a 59 modifier.
