I know I have been MIA for a while again, but all things hip continue to be good! I promise an update on my brother this week (ok, I promise to try). Here are just some pics of what has been keeping me busy, plus, I was just away for a week and a half in Miami!



This was actually my carriage as a baby. all 3 kids have used it for the first few months when they sleep in my room!

ICD-9 and CPT codes used for Hip Arthroscopy

Many people have been asking me what kind of magic I used to get my surgery paid for...well....none really. I think the OS office has a lot of experience dealing with it and billing correctly. My OS was also in network, which took a lot of headache away from this.
Below are the codes used for all 3 surgeries. Maybe one day in the distant future, if I find myself with some time on my hands, I will look up the up and add the name as well. For now, this is the best I can do...
And a link to an older post of what exactly was paid for each surgery
