Can you bill for this service if it is used in a fusion? would you code 22853?

Thank you ,

Placement of methylmethacrylate around the pedicle screws to help reinforce the instrumentation is not separately reported with 22853 or any other code. This is considered part of the instrumentation code (i.e. 2284X)
