Knee arthroscopy is a surgical procedure of diagnosis and treatment. In this procedure, a small incision is made on knee and a tiny camera mounted on fine cable (known as arthroscope) is inserted. This camera shows the inside imaging of knee on screen for diagnosis and treatment.
In left sided knee arthroscopy, the procedure is performed only on left sided knee. The surgery involves a small incision and insertion of arthroscope for diagnosis and treatment purpose. The CPT code for knee arthroscopy is 29880 (for both medial and lateral meniscal shaving).
In right sided knee arthroscopy, the procedure is performed on right sided knee only. During procedure an arthroscope is inserted inside the knee by making a small incision. Arthroscope helps in diagnosis and treatment. The CPT code is 29880 for both medial and lateral meniscus.
Meniscectomy is the procedure of partial or complete removal of medial or lateral meniscus. This surgery can be performed under the guidance of arthroscope. If this surgical procedure is done on left sided knee, then most suitable CPT code is 29881.
Diagnostic knee arthroscopy is a surgical procedure performed for the diagnostic purpose only. This procedure involves a small incision and insertion of arthroscope into the knee. Arthroscope can show inside imaging of knee to diagnose better. The CPT code for this diagnostic procedure is 29870.
Knee arthroscopy on right sided knee can be performed with partial medial Meniscectomy. This procedure involves partial removal of medial meniscus under the guidance of arthroscope. Surgery involves only the right sided knee. The CPT code for this is 29881.
Partial medial meniscus is performed on left sided knee during knee arthroscopy. An arthroscope is inserted inside the knee to obtain internal images on camera and to remove partial medial meniscus of left sided knee. This procedure is performed under 29881.
Total knee arthroscopy involves surgical procedure for the purpose of diagnosis and treatment. All the compartments i.e. medial and lateral with condyle and plateau are involved in this procedure. The CPT code for total knee arthroscopic diagnostic procedure is 27447 (with or without patella resurfacing).
Debridement is the procedure of removing any loose material from the knee joint. This procedure can be performed under the guidance of arthroscope on right sided knee. Arthroscope shows the internal imaging of knee and helps to perform debridement procedure. The CPT code is 29877.
Knee arthroscopy of let knee is sometimes combined with partial Meniscectomy. The partial removal of meniscus is performed under the guidance of arthroscope on left sided knee. Arthroscope shows images on the computer screen. The CPT code used is 29880.
Debridement is usually performed under the guidance of arthroscope. A small incision is made on the surface and arthroscope is inserted inside for the clear inside imaging. These images help to perform perfect debridement procedure. The CPT code is 29877.

In right sided knee arthroscopy, the procedure is performed on right sided knee only. During procedure an arthroscope is inserted inside the knee by making a small incision. Arthroscope helps in diagnosis and treatment. The CPT code is 29880 for both medial and lateral meniscus.
CPT Code for Anesthesia for Left Knee Arthroscopy with Medial Meniscectomy
Meniscectomy is the procedure of partial or complete removal of medial or lateral meniscus. This surgery can be performed under the guidance of arthroscope. If this surgical procedure is done on left sided knee, then most suitable CPT code is 29881.
CPT Code for Diagnostic Knee Arthroscopy
Diagnostic knee arthroscopy is a surgical procedure performed for the diagnostic purpose only. This procedure involves a small incision and insertion of arthroscope into the knee. Arthroscope can show inside imaging of knee to diagnose better. The CPT code for this diagnostic procedure is 29870.

CPT Code for Left Knee Arthroscopy with Partial Medial Meniscectomy
Partial medial meniscus is performed on left sided knee during knee arthroscopy. An arthroscope is inserted inside the knee to obtain internal images on camera and to remove partial medial meniscus of left sided knee. This procedure is performed under 29881.
CPT Code for Total Knee Arthroscopy
Total knee arthroscopy involves surgical procedure for the purpose of diagnosis and treatment. All the compartments i.e. medial and lateral with condyle and plateau are involved in this procedure. The CPT code for total knee arthroscopic diagnostic procedure is 27447 (with or without patella resurfacing).
CPT Code for Diagnostic and Operative Right Knee Arthroscopy with Debridement
Debridement is the procedure of removing any loose material from the knee joint. This procedure can be performed under the guidance of arthroscope on right sided knee. Arthroscope shows the internal imaging of knee and helps to perform debridement procedure. The CPT code is 29877.
CPT Code for Left Knee Arthroscopy Partial Meniscectomy
Knee arthroscopy of let knee is sometimes combined with partial Meniscectomy. The partial removal of meniscus is performed under the guidance of arthroscope on left sided knee. Arthroscope shows images on the computer screen. The CPT code used is 29880.
