I know there is a simple answer but wanted to double check the coding for this procedure especially when you're crossing over regions.
The surgeon plans to perform a C7-T1 fusion using anterior approach. Also, it involves preparing the disc space, discectomy, decompression, instrumentation and bone graft.
I was thinking CPT codes 22551 (coding out the primary), and then 22851 (application of biomechanical device), 22845 (instrumentation), and then a bone graft code, if applicable.
Thanks in advance!
