Hi everyone! Spine coding is just a small part of my everyday coding so I am a little lost in all the verbage I have been reading, I'm hoping someone here can help make it a tad simplier for me!
I have a question about billing a corpectomy. Doc states "Partial corpectomy L4 & L5 to facilitate application of PEEK prosthesis and restoration of sagittal alignment" my question is if he is doing the corpectomy for these reasons but with a lumbar fusion (22558) is it still billable? I guess I'm saying if a corpectomy is done to faciliate instrumentation/prosthesis does it still count or is that included in the fusion?
I appreciate ANY help or information anyone can give me!!
Thank you!
