Provider submitted 62287 for L5-S1 biacuplasty, and OR report documents left and right extrapedicular approach. OR report then documents advancement of needles further past the nuclear-anular junction into the outer portion of the nucleus. A 2.5 minute thermal lesion was used to complete the nucleus decompression. Both needles were withdrawn out of the annulus." Provider then also bills 64999 for annuloplasty.
My question, is 64999 separately billable with 62287? Or is annuloplasty inclusive of 62287?
Thank you in advance for your help!
