Injecting Bone Marrow for healing

Does anyone know a more appropriate code for use of injected bone marrow to stimulate/ augment the bone healing response around surgically implanted devices? We were billed bone marrow transplant codes and I don't think this is correct.

It sounds like the patient with scoliosis had a mixture of transferred bone and marrow as a autogenous bone graft to facilitate healing of whatever scoliosis procedure she had, but they shouldn’t be using bone marrow transplant codes!!! As to what codes they should be using…I am really not sure

Has anyone came across this before?
