Question: Texas Subscriber Answer: You must report it with the primary procedure -- in this case, 22554 (Arthrodesis, anterior interbody technique, including minimal discectomy to prepare interspace [other than for decompression]; cervical below C2). Caution: Instead of instructing you to go directly to the primary code, Crosswalk instructions allow you to code from the add-on codes, +22840. Coding for 22554 and +22840, you'll find that the primary code crosses only to 00600 (Anesthesia for procedures on cervical spine and cord; not otherwise specified) in the Crosswalk. Code 00600, which is attached to the primary code, has a base 10 value. However, the add-on code crosses to 00670 (Anesthesia for extensive spine and spinal cord procedures [e.g., spinal instrumentation or vascular procedures]), which carries 13 base units. If you don't search for the instrumentation code in the Crosswalk, you would underreport your anesthesia provider's services by three units.
