First time seeing this in an OP Note
Surgeon performs a laminectomy for disc herniation after decompression was achieved physician implants an interspinous device for stabilization
How do you code for the device?
Thank you for your help :)
 
If you don't have access to the records, you might be able to get more info from the hospital coder as to what kind of device they used. Was it instrumentation?
 
I have the information on the device it's a coflex interlaminar device, in researching further I'm being directed to use 0171T.
Has anyone else coded for this procedure before? Trying not to be frustrated :confused:
