Hi, I was in need of some help understanding the reason for the coding answers.

Thanks in advance.

Example : A patient diagnosed with spinal stenosis undergoes laminectomy with cervical spine fusion , which requires harvesting a structural bone graft from the iliac crest.

Answer : Report codes 22800, 20902-51 and 20931 in addition to the spinal fusion procedure code
