Need help on a cpt code, please.

My doctor removed a interspinous spacer device from L4-L5 that was placed in 2015 by an outside doctor/facility. While he was in there he went ahead and did a revision decompression at L4-L5 also. He wants to bill out the 22850 for removal of the interspinous spacer.

My question is can we use the 22850 for removal of the interspinous spacer?
 
I am in the same situation. Trying to figure out what code to use for removal of interspinous spacer device when another procedure is done. If we can even code this.
 
Hi,
Were you able to get a response for your question listed? I am wondering of this as well. Would it be unlisted, 22899? Any help would be appreciated!

Hi,
Did you ever figure out how to code this? My surgeon just did a removal of an interspinous spacer and then did a laminectomy. I am stuck again on what code to use for the removal of the device and I can not find anything on it. Thanks!
