Can someone please explain to me in the simplest terms what the difference between 63030 and 63047 is? I know easier said than done. I am having a issue trying to code a case because I can not find the distinct differences between the two codes. Patients dx is Herniated Nucleus Pulposus and Lateral Recess Stenosis. Surgery performed is Left L4-L5 Hemilaminectomy and discectomy and placement of epidural fat graft.
A new coding company we are out sourcing these cases to coded 63030 and 63710.
The doctor coded 63047, 63048 and 15770. Now I have to explain who is correct ugh.
I am so confused Thanks
