Question: Can you direct us to the ICD-9 Code for anterolisthesis?
Mississippi Subscriber
Answer: Anterolisthesis is another name for spondylolisthesis. This condition causes one vertebra to slide down onto the vertebra below it. You should use 756.12 (Spondylolisthesis) as your diagnosis code.
Most carriers will reimburse spinal computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) studies for patients who have anterolisthesis, but you should always check your payer's policy before you perform these exams.
