Can I code the exploration of the fusion and hardware removal together? exploration of fusion 22830 and hardware removal 22852
 
This would depend on the documentation of the procedures. 22852 and 22830 have a CCI edit, but do allow for a modifier to differentiate between the services provided.
 
Dictation
The hardware was removed completely and the fusion was explored and the fusion was felt to be solid at both levels.
both done at the same levels.
 
I can only base the response on the notes above, without additional significant reasons it would appear that they are inclusive. As you know it always comes down to the documentation to override the CCI recommendation.
