I am wondering what the correct ICD-9 codes are for these seemingly interchangeable diagnoses:
DISK BULGING
MULTILEVEL DEGENERATIVE CHANGES
NEURAL FORAMINAL STENOSIS
FACET HYPERTROPHIC CHANGE
ANTEROLISTHESIS
RETROLISTHESIS
LUMBAR LEVOSCOLIOSIS
I know these can be described as stenosis and osteoarthrosis, it just seems difficult to differentiate if they are separate conditions or if they should be considered part of other codes.
Thanks!
