Laminectomy for excision or evacuation of intraspinal lesion other than neoplasm, extradural cervicalĬervical laminectomies and evacuation of epidural hematoma, abscessĦ3265 (this code will be removed starting in 2020) Laminectomy for biopsy/excision of intraspinal neoplasm extradural, cervicalĬervical Laminectomies and resection of epidural tumor Used for interbody device insertion without fusion Insertion of intervertebral biomechanical device(s) (eg, synthetic cage, mesh, methylmethacrylate) to intervertebral disc space or vertebral body defect without interbody arthrodesis, each contiguous defect (List separately in addition to code for primary procedure) Used for a device to fill a corpectomy defect, with fusion, with or without integrated anterior fixation Insertion of intervertebral biomechanical device(s) (eg, synthetic cage, mesh) with integral anterior instrumentation for device anchoring (eg, screws, flanges), when performed, to vertebral corpectomy(ies) (vertebral body resection, partial or complete) defect, in conjunction with interbody arthrodesis, each contiguous defect (List separately in addition to code for primary procedure) Insertion of interbody biomechanical device(s) (eg, synthetic cage, mesh) with integral anterior instrumentation for device anchoring (eg, screws, flanges), when performed, to intervertebral disc space in conjunction with interbody arthrodesis, each interspace (List separately in addition to code for primary procedure)Ģ2853 is used for a device, with fusion, with or without integrated anterior fixation I&D of deep below fascia infection or abscess, lumbosacral Incision and drainage, open, of deep abscess (subfascial), posterior spine lumbar, sacral, or lumbosacral I&D of Deep Infection Posterior Spine, Cervical Lumbar I&D of deep below fascia infection or abscess, cervical Incision and drainage, open, of deep abscess (subfascial), posterior spine cervical, thoracic, or cervicothoracic Total disc arthroplasty (artificial disc), anterior approach, including discectomy with end plate preparation (includes osteophytectomy for nerve root or spinal cord decompression and microdissection) single interspace, cervicalīiopsy, vertebral body, open lumbar or cervical Use 22554 instead of +22551 if no decompression was done such as in traumaĪrthrodesis, anterior interbody technique, including mmimal discectomy to prepare interspace (other than for decompression) each additional interspace (List separately in addition to code for primary procedure)Īrthrodesis, posterior or posterolateral technique, single level cervical below C2 segmentĪrthrodesis, posterior technique, atlas-axis (C1-C2) Use +22853 (interbody cage), +22854 (corpectomy cage), +22859 (any cage without fusion) instead.Īrthrodesis, anterior interbody, including disc space preparation, discectomy, osteophytectomy and decompression of spinal cord and/or nerve roots cervical below C2Īnterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion (ACDF)Īrthrodesis, anterior interbody, including disc space preparation, discectomy, osteophytectomy and decompression of spinal cord and/or nerve roots cervical below C2, each additional interspace (list separately in addition to code for separate procedure)Īrthrodesis, anterior interbody technique, including mmimal discectomy to prepare interspace (other than for decompression) cervical below C2 Some other payers may continue to use this code. This code as of 1/1/17 will no longer be used by Medicare.
