Highlight These TLIF Coding Options : You Be the Coder - AAPC 22630 (Arthrodesis, posterior interbody technique, including laminectomy and or discectomy to prepare interspace [other than for decompression], single interspace; lumbar) for the L4-L5 arthrodesis

Spine Surgery Quandary: Posterior Lumbar Interbody Fusion Although Medicare guidelines disallow modifier 59 when decompression and fusion are performed at the same interspace, it may be used when the procedures are performed at different interspaces For example, a combined posterior lumbar interbody fusion and posterolateral fusion at L5-S1, with an adjacent posterolateral fusion at L4-L5, with decompression at both L5-S1 and L4-L5, may be reported
Wiki - injection coding - neuroma treatment - AAPC A Morton's neuroma is a swollen, inflamed nerve located between the bones at the ball of the foot (usually either the second or the third spacing from the base of the great toe), which is 355 6 So, I would use code: 64455 (Injection, anesthetic agent and or steroid, plantar common digital nerve [eg Morton's neuroma])

Segment vs Interspace | Medical Billing and Coding Forum - AAPC For a laminectomy, you would count per interspace as they are removing the lamina in between each segment In this case, L4-L5 would count as one interspace And (yes Frosty) the CPT code description tells us whether we count segments or interspaces For example 63045-63047, states "segment" therefore L4-L5 would be two segments = 63047, 63048
