Recently we had a physician perform non-segmental instrumentation using facet screws at L3-4, L4-5 and L5-1 with placement of Spine Frontier spinous process plates at L3-4 and L3-4 along with the posterolateral fusions at L3-4, L4-5 and L5-S1. The vendor is stating the non-segmental instrumentation should be billed as 22840 X3 and the spinous process plates (Inspan interspinous fixation system from Spine Frontier) as 28899 X2. The fusion codes are no problem. *******would appreciate any input in regard to using 22840 X3 and the unlised code for the interspinous fixation.
Thank you. Nancy Boyle
