MY SURGEON REMOVED AN X-STOP DEVICE @L4/5 THEN PERFORMED AN INTERBODY FUSION AT SAME INTERSPACE USING INTERBODY CAGE. NEED SOME ADVISE!!
22899 FOR X-STOP REMOVAL WITH 22851 FOR CAGE
OR
22849 FOR REINSERTION OF SPINAL FIXATION?

:confused: HELP!! THANKS TO ALL
 
I would use only code 22849, this covers the removal of instrumentation and reinsertion at the same level. The type of instrumentation removed is not specified, so it can be used for all types of devices. Code 22849 covers removing the xstop and replacing with interbody device.
