the spinal canal and create more space for the spinal cord and spinal nerves. So even if the surgeon uses the word laminotomy, he is still decompressing the nerve preventing radiculopathy. Use CPT 63045 for cervical or CPT 63047 for lumbar, with additional levels billed with add-on Code +63048 unilateral or bilateral.
The surgeon also performed central decompression of L3-L5 due to impingement of the spinal cord in this area. In this case, an ICD-10-PCS code would be assigned for the lumbar spinal nerve release/decompression as well as one for the lumbar spinal cord release/decompression at the same level in addition to the spinal fusion codes.
ICD-10-CM Code for Wedge compression fracture of first lumbar vertebra, initial encounter for closed fracture S32. 010A.
In ICD-10-CM, codes for compression and pathologic fractures of the spine (not due to trauma) are located in Chapter 13, Diseases of the Musculoskeletal System and Connective Tissue. Category M48. 5-, Collapsed vertebra, not elsewhere classifiable is used for vertebrae fracture where no cause is listed.
S32. 010A Wedge compression fracture of first lumbar vertebra, init - ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Codes.
03.
Wedge compression fracture of fourth lumbar vertebra, subsequent encounter for fracture with nonunion. S32. 040K is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM S32.
S22. 040 - Wedge compression fracture of fourth thoracic vertebra | ICD-10-CM.
Wedge compression fracture of second lumbar vertebra, initial encounter for closed fracture. S32. 020A is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM S32.
The most common type of compression fracture is a wedge fracture, in which the front of the vertebral body collapses but the back does not, meaning that the bone assumes a wedge shape. Sometimes, more than one vertebra fractures, a condition called multiple compression fractures.
Although all compression fractures have an underlying pathology, the term pathologic vertebral compression fracture (pVCF) is traditionally reserved for fractures that result from primary or metastatic spine tumors.
Vertebral compression fractures (VCFs) occur when the bony block or vertebral body in the spine collapses, which can lead to severe pain, deformity and loss of height. These fractures more commonly occur in the thoracic spine (the middle portion of the spine), especially in the lower part.
Unspecified fracture of fifth lumbar vertebra, initial encounter for closed fracture. S32. 059A is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes.
Wedge compression fracture of unspecified thoracic vertebra, initial encounter for closed fracture. S22. 000A is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM S22.
Pathological spine fractures are the result of an underlying disease process that affects the spine. They are called vertebral compression fractures and are common, and frequent in the elderly. They may be caused by osteoporosis, Paget's disease, other diseases and spinal infections (osteomyelitis).
The spinal compression deformity is not the same as a spinal compression fracture. A patient may have a compression fracture without the deformity.
ICD-10-CM Code for Wedge compression fracture of unspecified thoracic vertebra, initial encounter for closed fracture S22. 000A.
The most common type of compression fracture is a wedge fracture, in which the front of the vertebral body collapses but the back does not, meaning that the bone assumes a wedge shape. Sometimes, more than one vertebra fractures, a condition called multiple compression fractures.
