Hi
Can anyone tell me if they have heard of the CPT for open Kyphoplasty?
Thank you in advance
 
This is old and from WPS so you would want to double check but I think it is still true.


15. To bill for open vertebroplasty that was performed with other open spinal procedures, use code 22899 (NOC). Place the name of the procedure “Open Vertebroplasty” in Item 19 of the CMS 1500 form or its equivalent when billing EMC. Bill for the number of vertebral levels injected, whether unilateral or bilateral. This code should not be reported for any vertebral level on which another procedure is already being performed on a vertebral body, such as open treatment and/or reduction of vertebral fracture(s) and/or dislocation(s) (22325-22328).
