Arthroscopy
About 29914: Hip arthroscopy with femoral reshaping
Arthroscopic reshaping of the femoral head-neck junction treats cam-type hip impingement when the surgeon removes bone causing restricted clearance.
The orthopedic surgeon uses a camera and instruments through small incisions to reshape the femoral head-neck junction, usually to address cam-type femoroacetabular impingement. The procedure removes bone that contributes to abnormal contact during hip movement. It is typically performed in an operating room, often alongside other arthroscopic treatment of the hip joint.
Report this code when the operative record supports arthroscopic femoral bone reshaping, with the treated side and work performed documented. CMS assigns a 90-day global period, including the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care. When related endoscopies are performed together, endoscopy-family pricing applies. For bilateral surgery, modifier 50 is paid at 150%. An assistant at surgery may be paid; co-surgeons are paid only with supporting documentation, and team surgery is not permitted.

What documentation supports 29914?
Document the hip and side treated, the arthroscopic approach, the femoral head-neck bone reshaping performed, and the findings supporting the procedure.
How is bilateral 29914 reported?
Use modifier 50 for bilateral surgery; CMS pays the bilateral procedure at 150%.
How do the global period and surgical assistance rules affect billing?
