Question: During the same operative session, the orthopedic surgeon performed the following procedures: L4-L5 discectomy, L5-S1 discectomy, L4-L5 transforaminal interbody fusion using posterior interbody technique, L5-S1 transforaminal interbody fusion using posterior interbody technique, bone graft placement (local autograft), L4-L5 interbody cage placement, L5-S1 cage placement and L4, L5

Transforaminal Lumbar Interbody Fusion (TLIF) TLIF is differentiated from the more traditional bilateral PLIF by a unilateral approach to the disc space through the intervertebral foramen In minimally invasive TLIF, a single incision about 2-3 cm in length is made approximately 3 cm lateral to the midline

To report both codes 63056 and 22630 for the same interspace segment would represent duplicative work For posterior (PLIF) or transforaminal (TLIF) approach lumbar interbody fusions, CPT code 22630 is used, and the dissection needed to access the disc space in these approaches is considered an incidental component of the fusion procedure

If your surgeon performs transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF), an extraforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (ELIF), a Kambin lumbar interbody fusion (KLIF), or posterior lumbar interbody fusion (PLIF), you’ll choose from the following codes:

I need some help with coding for a TLIF procedure The Procedures are: 1 Removal of segmental spinal instrumentation 2 Exploration of previous spinal fusion with identification of pseudoarthrosis 3 Insertion of segmental spinal instrumentation (L1, L2, L3 and L4) 4 Use of intraoperative

Think 'Refined' With TLIF Transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion, or TLIF, is a refinement of the PLIF procedure "The TLIF technique involves approaching the spine in a similar manner as the PLIF approach, but more from the side of the spinal canal through a midline incision in the patient's back," Larson explains

Hi BRRBRR, Look on pgs 161 and 167 in CPT manual yr 2022 I d use one of the CPT codes 22849 to 22855 This also depends on how surgery done on stomach or side per surgeon notes

tlif plif No 22 it would have to be clearly documented at the time of the procedure that it was increased It's a two level interbody 22633, 22634, 22842, 22853x2, 20930 (if payer covers), yes you could add 63
