RE: CPT code for crosslink used in neurosurgery
I am coding for a posterolateral fusion w/instrumentation implanted from T10-L2. The surgeon states that he inserts the rods into the
screw heads, secured w/set screws, and final tightening followed by placement of a crosslink. Is there a separate CPT code to bill for the crosslink specifically or is it included in the posterior instrumentation codes (22840, 22842-22844)?
