Hello,

I just need some clarification on selecting ICD 10 codes when it comes to spine procedures.

For example, my docs do an RF of L3-S1 - should I select the appropriate diagnosis codes for the lumbar level and the lumbosacral level, or just use the lumbar.


Any help is greatly appreciated!

typically this procedure is performed for a sacroiliac joint diagnosis, not lumbar or lumbosacral
