re the CPT codes--
27486 and 27487 are for total knee revisions, not for a first-time replacement. 27486 is used if you only revise 1 component (ie the femoral side or the tibial side). 27487 is billed when both components are revised.
Thank you! I appreciate the correction, and this exactly shows how challenging it is for the average consumer to actually use these chargemasters in the first place to do their own research.
