It should only be used after the global period for the first disc surgery lateral recess decompression at a level CPT code 63047 if no disc work is per- formed. The presence of a lumbar disc herniation (722.1) drives the CPT code. Another common misconception is code 63047.

Nerve root and plexus compressions in diseases classified elsewhere. G55 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 G55 became effective on October 1, 2021.

In the HCPCS coding system, there is a code to describe "vertebral axial decompression," and that code is S9090.
Nerve compression syndrome is the result of nerve irritation or pressure. Carpal tunnel syndrome in the wrist is the most common type. Nerve compression syndromes can also affect your lower limbs. You should see your healthcare provider if you experience unexplained limb numbness, pain, tingling or weakness.
Nerve Root Compression, clinically known as Radiculopathy, refers to a compression of nerve roots as they exit the spine. This condition most commonly affects the lumbar (lower back) nerve roots, but it does also occur in the cervical (neck) nerve roots. Pain is largely referred down the leg.
ICD-10 code: M79. 2 Neuralgia and neuritis, unspecified.
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.
Postlaminectomy syndrome, not elsewhere classified. M96. 1 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 M96.
ACS 1344 Postlaminectomy syndrome instructs coders that postlaminectomy syndrome (M96. 1 Postlaminectomy syndrome, not elsewhere classfied) is a term used to describe pain which persists in spite of back surgery attempted to relieve it and that it should only be coded when 'postlaminectomy syndrome' is documented.
Z48.811 is a valid billable ICD-10 diagnosis code for Encounter for surgical aftercare following surgery on the nervous system . It is found in the 2021 version of the ICD-10 Clinical Modification (CM) and can be used in all HIPAA-covered transactions from Oct 01, 2020 - Sep 30, 2021 .
DO NOT include the decimal point when electronically filing claims as it may be rejected. Some clearinghouses may remove it for you but to avoid having a rejected claim due to an invalid ICD-10 code, do not include the decimal point when submitting claims electronically.

One factor in determining the number of fusion codes to assign is how many levels were fused. However, a L2-S1 anterior fusion requires two fusion codes with one code being assigned the body part of 1 and the other code being assigned the body part of 3 see Figure 2 below.

However, even when adjusting for this potential confounder, Medicaid and self-pay patients were found to have significantly higher odds of PSI relative to privately insured patients. A log should also be kept detailing the communication of IOM changes to the surgeon at the time of detection
Common areas of confusion include CPT code 63042. Re-exploration at a level with a recurrent disc herniation can only use CPT code 63042. It should only be used after the global period for the first disc surgery has expired. Repeat facetectomy and lateral recess decompression at a level with a prior decompression must use CPT code 63047 if no disc work is per-formed. The presence of a lumbar disc herniation (722.1) drives the CPT code.Another common misconception is code 63047. This code can be used unilaterally or bilaterally as long as the decompression involves the lateral recess and foramen. Posterior fusion codes that involve disc preparation (22630,22633) already take into account the decompression work. Using ad-ditional decompression codes (63005, 63012, 63030,63042, 63047) is not al-lowed.
The use of posterior fusion codes that encompass disc work (eg, 22630 and 22633) already take into account the removal of lamina, facets and ligamen-tum flavum. The interbody fusion codes also were written assuming bilateral interbody placement which requires bilateral decompression. In cases that require decompression plus fusion (L4-5 spondylolisthesis with central and lateral recess stenosis), only the fusion codes can be used.
