Hello Everyone:
Could someone out there who has strong spinal coding skills, please give me some advice on the procedure below. I have also given the codes I think are correct. I am starting to go stir-crazy, thanks so much!
1. Posterior lumbar arthrodesis, T10 to L2 (4 levels)-22633
2. Posterior segmental spinal instrumentation, T10 to L2 (4 levels)-22634
3. Revision of posterior spinal arthrodesis at L2 to L3 (1 level)-22634
4. Removal of posterior fusion rods, L2 to S1, and revision of posterior fusion, L2 to S1-22852
5. Smith-Petersen osteotomies w/complete lamectomies and facetectomies bilaterally at T 12 to L1 and L1 to L2-???
6. Exploration of Fusion, L2 to S1 bilaterally-cannot bill
7. Vertebral augmentation L2 w/cement-???
8. Placement of cement to augment screws at T10, T11, T12 bilaterally-22842
9. Placement of allograft cancellous bone for fusion at T10 to S1-20930
10. Placement of local morelized autograft bone for fusion at T10 to S1-20937
11. Placement of Infuse bone morphogenetic protein 2 for fusion T10 to S1-64999
