Quizplus · Accepted Answer

27562 is correct because it was a closed treatment of patellar dislocation with conscious sedation, which is considered anesthesia.
Codes 27550 and 27552 are both incorrect because they are referring to knee dislocations. Code 27560 is incorrect because this code is for a reduction without anesthesia.
