Use code 22551 for the 1st level of fusion and discectomy performed and add-on code 22552 for subsequent levels. Codes 63075 and 22554 are still valid for use in cases where only those individual procedures are performed and they are not combined.Apr 18, 2011
ICD-10 code M43. 22 for Fusion of spine, cervical region is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Dorsopathies .
Rationale: A two-level anterior cervical discectomy and fusion or ACDF (22551, 22552) was performed with a structural allograft (20931) and an anterior plate (22845). CPT 22551 is a global code that includes 63075 and 22554.Jun 14, 2016
A fusion surgery is done at the same time as the discectomy operation in order to stabilize the cervical segment. A fusion involves placing bone graft and/or implants where the disc originally was in order to provide stability and strength to the area.
M43.22Fusion of spine, cervical region M43. 22 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes.
Overview. Anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) is a surgery to remove a herniated or degenerative disc in the neck. An incision is made in the throat area to reach and remove the disc. A graft is inserted to fuse together the bones above and below the disc.
CPT® 22869, Under Spinal Instrumentation Procedures on the Spine (Vertebral Column) The Current Procedural Terminology (CPT®) code 22869 as maintained by American Medical Association, is a medical procedural code under the range - Spinal Instrumentation Procedures on the Spine (Vertebral Column).
The official CPT definition for code 22840 is “Posterior non-segmental instrumentation (eg, Harrington rod technique, pedicle fixation across one interspace, atlantoaxial transarticular screw fixation, sublaminar wiring at C1, facet screw fixation).”Feb 1, 2008

Discectomy and Microdiscectomy are terms that mean the surgical removal of part or an entire intervertebral disc. The difference between these terms is that microdiscectomy uses microscopic magnification. These procedures are performed to remove a herniated or ruptured disc.Mar 22, 2016
Discectomy is the surgical removal of part or all of a vertebral disc that has herniated. The disc is removed by first cutting the outer annulus fibrosis and removing the nucleus pulposus to relieve pressure on the nerve root.
Cervical laminectomy Laminectomy is surgery that creates space by removing the lamina — the back part of a vertebra that covers your spinal canal. Also known as decompression surgery, laminectomy enlarges your spinal canal to relieve pressure on the spinal cord or nerves.Jul 1, 2020
When discectomy is performed on multiple levels (cervical, thoracic, lumbar, sacral, cervicothoracic, thoracolumbar or lumbosacral) each intervertebral disc would be coded, but only once per level (i.e., cervical, thoracic, lumbar, etc.) An example would be a patient that has L3-S1 partial discectomies.
A discectomy can be either an excision (partial/removal of part of the disc) or a resection (total/removal of the entire disc). The operative report should describe if part or all of the disc material is removed.
A discectomy is surgical removal of any herniated or damaged disc in the patient’s spine. When a disc is herniated (slipped, ruptured, bulging or prolapsed disc), the spinal nerves may become irritated and “pinched.”. The discectomy does not provide relief with the actual back/neck pain, but does typically relieve the associated radiating pain ...
The discectomy does not provide relief with the actual back/neck pain, but does typically relieve the associated radiating pain (radiculopathy) from the pressure/irritation on the spinal nerve.
