Has anyone had trouble getting Aetna to authorize 22853 for a 1 or 2 level ACDF? They are only covering structural allograft unless it is a 3 level ACDF. After speaking to all docs in my practice, none of them would perform the procedure with only structural allograft. They all said "no, Old School." Even peer to peer review can't get the device auth'd. I've had no problems with other insurance companies.
Thanks,
