Diagnostic Shoulder Arthroscopy

New York rates for HCPCS 29805

A pencil-thin camera is passed into the shoulder joint through a small puncture so the surgeon can look directly at the cartilage, the joint lining, and the tendons inside. A small sample of the joint lining may be taken while the camera is in there. It is used when examination and scans have not explained shoulder pain, catching, or locking.
