Has anyone heard of a spinal surgery for "growing rod"? One of my Dr's need a CPT code for it and I'm not all that familiar with. Any assistance would be appreciated.
Our pediatric spine coder is back and she confirms what I previously posted.
For the expansion of the growth rod she uses 22899 and titles it "Expansion of spinal growth rod" She uses V54.02 for Diagnosis.
Hope that helps.
