My physician performed a corpectomy at T7 for tumor removal I coded this with 63101 ( more than 1/3 removed) and also through a separate incision & laminectomy removed a extradural tumor at T10 which i coded as 63276.
Question is physician is asking if we can code 63101 & 63276 together for the level T7 tumor. My understanding is that Px code 63101 represents corpectomy for tumor and there would only be the one code for the T7 tumor.
Am i correct with my thinking on this one?
Thank You
