This is a very lengthy op note so I'm only going to provide the "meat" and hope it's enough.

Extensive right L4-5 Foraminotomy and removal of disk herniation and decompression of L5 nerve root. (63030)

Bilateral L5-S1 facetectomies, diskectomies, removal of abnormal pars defects and decompression of the L5 ans S1 nerve roots. (63012)
**A complete facetectomy was performed**

Posterior lumbar interbody fusion bilaterally, L5-S1 (22630)

Pedical screw stabilization, L4 to S1, with Dynesys cable system. (22842)

Peek implants and copious bone graft (22851 and 20930)

Any thought? I have no issues with the modifiers...I know what goes where.

These are not one of my favorites.......

I ran this through my system a few times. What you have looks okay (without knowing the source of the bone graft and assuming only one interspace for 22851).

Your assumption is correct. Thanks...TGIF!!
