Authorization request is for :
T9 to pelvis posterior segmental instrumentation, arthrodesis, deformity correction, and spinal-pelvic fixation with autograft ; L4-5 TLIF - interbody fusion specifically for this portion of the fusion. With several osteotomies
Authorization request is for :
T9 to pelvis posterior segmental instrumentation, arthrodesis, deformity correction, and spinal-pelvic fixation with autograft ; L4-5 TLIF - interbody fusion specifically for this portion of the fusion. With several osteotomies. The diagnosis is for scoliosis , deformity
I am coding this out as :
22802
22843
20936
22633 – unsure on this code – concerned that we are not capturing the correct code for level L4-5 due to interbody fusion but, it is also being done for scoliosis- which would be a deformity code
22853
63047- unsure on this code – does this need to be coded separately or is it already coded in 22802?
22206 or 22207 depending if it is lumbar or thoracic – he has not stated this
22208
