Other intervertebral disc displacement, lumbar region M51. 26 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 M51. 26 became effective on October 1, 2021.
2022 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code M96. 1: Postlaminectomy syndrome, not elsewhere classified.
Other specified postprocedural states The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM Z98. 89 became effective on October 1, 2021.
ICD-10-CM Code for Intervertebral disc disorders with radiculopathy, lumbar region M51. 16.
Microdiscectomy is a surgical procedure for the relief of pain and other symptoms that occur when a herniated disc in the spine presses on an adjacent nerve root. During the operation, the surgeon frees the nerve by removing small fragments of disc, bone and ligament.
arthroscopic microdiscectomy or Yeung Endoscopic Spinal Surgery System (Y.E.S.S.) APLD (Automated percutaneous lumbar discectomy) (62287) B.
ICD-10 Code for Encounter for surgical aftercare following surgery on specified body systems- Z48. 81- Codify by AAPC.
Using the International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision, Clinical Modification diagnosis and treatment codes, discharges were identified for those patients undergoing ACDF (defined as anterior cervical fusion (ICD-0 code=81.02) + excision of intervertebral disc (80.51)).
Release Lumbar Spinal Cord, Open Approach ICD-10-PCS 00NY0ZZ is a specific/billable code that can be used to indicate a procedure.
Displacement describes the nucleus pulposus pushing through the annulus and deforming the disc. A well-localized deformation of the disc is also referred to as a protrusion or herniation. This is differentiated from a “bulging” disc, which describes deformity of the annulus concentrically.
ICD-Code M54. 3 is a non-billable ICD-10 code used for healthcare diagnosis reimbursement of Sciatica.
5 – Low Back Pain. ICD-Code M54. 5 is a billable ICD-10 code used for healthcare diagnosis reimbursement of chronic low back pain.
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.
