Hi all,
I am trying to properly code a spinal surgery and the doctor and I are discussing the codes and have a difference of opinion. Some of the codes he wants to use are bundled so I am hoping there codes we can replace them with? Here is what he performed. Any help is much appreciated!
SURGICAL PROCEDURE:
1. Left-sided L5-S1 laminotomy and decompression.
2. L4, L5, S1 pedicle screws, Synthes USS.
3. Left-sided L5-S1 transforaminal interbody fusion with allograft prosthetic spacer and local allograft.
4. L4, L5, S1 pedicle screws and posterolateral fusion with local autograft, allograft, Chronos, and demineralized bone matrix.
5. Harvest local autograft
6. Intraoperative neuromonitoring by ____.
He wants to bill:
22633
22612
22632
22842
22851
63030
20930
20936
