Wiki Scoliosis fusion

[kimmcelderry@gmail.com]

The MD documents posterior fusion for scoliosis (pediatric) at T3-T5 and L5-S2. He submitted 2 units of 22800 which I know isn't right. Instrumentation is T3-S2.

"Spine was decorticated, bone grafted at T3 through T5 and L5 through S2 with autograft"

Is this just one unit of 22800? Thank you

Yes, 22800 can only be reported once. I agree that would be one unit of 22800.
