Hallux rigidus

“I performed a removal of a failed 1st metatarsophalangeal implant and, at the same setting, an arthrodesis. Should I bill for both the removal of the implant and subsequent fusion?”

“I have a patient who will undergo a Cartiva implant procedure for hallux limitus/rigidus at the 1st metatarsophalangeal joint. He also has lateral deviation of his hallux on the same foot and an Akin osteotomy will be performed to address this deformity. Should the Akin osteotomy be billed as a separate procedure or is that considered unbundling?”
