I have found this article and hopefully it will be helpful to you.
http://www.supercoder.com/articles/a...laminectomies/ But billing both 63047 and 63030 I'm surprise you have recvd paymt because more than likely it will get denied by many ins. as you mentioned its inclusive. But hope this articles helps. I also found this article as well that may be helpful. http://www.supercoder.com/articles/a...crodiskectomy/ As long as they are done at different levels. Both codes may be billed together. Last edited by ckirkp1; 02-03-2012 at 08:02 AM.

THANK YOU ZIRMED!!! Amy, a representative with Zirmed called me first thing this morning and wanted to help get this issue resolved. She contacted BCBS and was able to get them to tell us what needed to be done. Looks like the only problem that we had was the M59 should have been the first modifier that we listed. We corrected and resubmitted. Thanks again the the quick response and help from Zirmed!!
