Wiki Degenerated Disc Space

[bonzaibex]

I'm coding for a radiologist who works for an Ortho group. If he lists degeneration of disc space in his impression without listing any other issue, what dx code range should I look in? It's not enough to use a DDD dx, is it?

i think it would be he says degenerative and disc so i would use either 7224 72251 or72252
