Wiki new to spinal coding - arthrodesis question

[jeskla]

Hello everyone,
Could you please help me? I am trying to precertify an upcoming surgery and want to make sure that I have the correct codes. He is doing posterior/ posterolateral technique arthrodesis from L2 all the way to the ilium. Would this be 22612 for the first then 22614 for the 3 additional levels?

Yes, you are correct. 22612 (L2-3), 22614 x3 for each addtl vertebral segment (L4, L5, S1).
