Wiki Laminomtomies of thoracic/sacral areas

[Nelson]

Hi,

Does anyone have any idea how one would code laminotomies when performed at the thoracic or sacral levels? 63020, 63030 are for cervical and lumbar.
Thanks in advance.
Kathy

I know this is an older bulletin but I'm told this is still applicable.

Read the information under the "Approach" heading.
