Coding Strategies:
Confirm Each Component of the Procedure For Easy Cervical Spine Coding
Published on Wed Aug 31, 2016
Clearly define services for decompression and fusion; add codes for grafts and instrumentation. Coding for cervical spine procedures and fracture reductions can be challenging due to the complexity of the procedures for decompression and fusion. However, these challenges can be dissipated by adopting a stepwise approach to confirm each component of the procedure. Here are examples of operative steps that [...]
