I am having trouble with this coding. The op report states the following diagnosis
1. Lumbar Disc Displacement
2. Lumbar Radiculopthy
CPT 722.10 states it includes radiculititis due to displacement and CPT 724.4 excludes 722.0-722.9
It is correct to code ONLY 722.10 since the operative report only gives these 2 conditions and no other cause of the Radiculopathy?
