Multiple questions here....
If doctor only dictates that he does a Decompression Laminectomy and Foraminotomy for spinal stenosis would you still use 63047 even though there was no Facetectomy performed?
If so, please explain why when the code descriptor states "and" meaning all 3 need to be done.
If not, what code would you use?
Would you use a 52 for reduced services?
Thanks
