Realign Your Spinal Coding Skills - AAPC Knowledge Center Here is what you need to know to avoid obsolete coding practices Over the past few years, CPT® coding for spinal surgical procedures has changed Over the past few years, CPT® coding for spinal surgical procedures has changed significantly Have you kept pace? Double-check to make sure
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
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
