Double-check to make sure
Wiki - 2nd Interspace decompression | Medical Billing and Coding . . . - AAPC Hello, I am trying to find the best code for a decompression of the deep transverse ligament at the 2nd metatarsal interspace The provider did not remove a neuroma just released the deep transverse ligament I have researched and keep coming across codes for 64704, 28080, and 29999 I hesitate
Member’s Tip: Pain-free Coding of Morton’s Neuroma - AAPC A Morton’s neuroma is a benign growth on nerve tissue that occurs in the nerve of your foot, often between the third and fourth toes, although it also may occur at the second toe interspace
Learn 5 Tips to Strengthen Your Spinal Fusion Coding - AAPC In this example, you’d use 22633 (Arthrodesis, combined posterior or posterolateral technique with posterior interbody technique including laminectomy and or discectomy sufficient to prepare interspace (other than for decompression), single interspace, lumbar) to report the procedure
Straighten Out Your Spinal Coding With These Pointers : Anatomy - AAPC Remember the difference between vertebral segment, interspace During her HEALTHCON 2020 presentation “Spinal Surgery Update 2020,” Lynn M Anderanin, CPC, CPPM, CPC-I, CPMA, COSC, breaks down the basics of spinal anatomy coding, lending some context to the sometimes confusing terms that characterize this tricky part of the body
Reviewing Decompression, Arthrodesis, and Osteotomy Procedures - AAPC Answer: If the indication for surgery is deformity, report code 22633, Arthrodesis, combined posterior or posterolateral technique with posterior interbody technique including laminectomy and or discectomy sufficient to prepare interspace (other than for decompression), single interspace and segment; lumbar; two units of code 22634, Arthrodesis
Reporting Guidance for Codes 22554 and 63081 vs 22551 and 22552 - AAPC As a result of the 2008 request, two new codes (22551, 22552) were added to the CPT 2011 code set to report arthrodesis that includes disk space preparation, discectomy, osteophytectomy, and decompression of the spinal cord below the second cervical vertebra (C2) and any additional interspace
Arthodesis Decompression (22630, 22632-22634, 63052, 63053) - AAPC Arthrodesis 22630 Arthrodesis, posterior interbody technique, including laminectomy and or discectomy to prepare interspace (other than for decompression), single interspace; lumbar (Do not report 22630 in conjunction with 22612 for the same interspace and segment, use 22633) 22632 each additional interspace (List separately in addition to code for primary procedure)
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
