Can anyone help with coding spine surgery? My cardiothoracic surgeon assists with these cases. He does the exposure part with the spine surgeon 22548-22585. He also stays after the exposure to help with the remainder of the case. Do you code for all levels exposed or just the levels that require arthrodesis? Also can we append a modifier 62 to all procedure codes? Thanks for any help you can offer.
