HELP!!!!
I was wondering if any coding Gurus may know what the proper CPT codes for these two procedures? I also need to know what % Medicare will pay on these codes?.
I appreciate any and all feedback.
Thank you
Kives
This is somewhat of a vague question since there are various approaches, reason, etc; however....
For the foraminotomy, I would begin looking in the 63020 + series
For the vertebrectomy, begin looking at 63101 + series, 63300 + series
Medicare, generally, is our easiest carrier to deal with. It's not that often that I need to appeal a claim. With any carrier, proper documentation and medical necessity is essential.
