ICD10 SPECIALTY TIPS SPINAL PROCEDURES | 1 of 6 SPECIALTY TIP #19 Spinal Procedures The Basics Spinal surgeries and procedures pose a number of challenging problems. NOTE: The following information is applicable to professional services. Different types and places of services may affect the global package concept (i.e., ASC facility billing). Spinal Surgery When requesting a prior authorization, check that the facility would be appropriate for the procedure (inpatient versus outpatient). o Some procedures can only be performed in the inpatient setting.

SPINAL  PROCEDURES  |  1  of  6  

SPECIALTY  TIP  #19  Spinal  Procedures    The  Basics  Spinal  surgeries  and  procedures  pose  a  number  of  challenging  problems.    NOTE:    The  following  information  is  applicable  to  professional  services.    Different  types  and  places  of  services  may  affect  the  global  package  concept  (i.e.,  ASC  facility  billing).            Spinal  Surgery  • When  requesting  a  prior  authorization,  check  that  the  facility  would  be  appropriate  for  the  procedure  (inpatient  versus  outpatient).  

o Some  procedures  can  only  be  performed  in  the  inpatient  setting.    • Understand  that  often  the  code  assigned  is  dependent  on  the  details  of  the  procedure:  

o The  specific  location(s)  o Level  -­‐  Interspace  versus  segment  

§ How  many  levels/segments  o Bone  grafts,  specify:  

§ Allografts  or  autografts,  morselized  or  structural  o Approach  o Instrumentation  

§ What  type?    § How  many  vertebral  segments?  

o Diagnosis    § Herniated  disk  versus  stenosis  

Examples  of  Code  Details  63030   Laminotomy  (hemilaminectomy),  with  decompression  of  nerve  root(s),  including  partial  facetectomy,  foraminotomy  and/or  excision  

of  herniated  intervertebral  disc;  1  interspace,  lumbar  63047   Laminectomy,  facetectomy  and  foraminotomy  (unilateral  or  bilateral  with  decompression  of  spinal  cord,  cauda  equina  and/or  nerve  

root[s],  [eg,  spinal  or  lateral  recess  stenosis]),  single  vertebral  segment;  lumbar    

Anesthesia  for  Spinal  Surgeries  Anesthesia  for  Spinal  Procedures  

Code   Code  Description   Base  Unit  Values  

00600   Anesthesia  for  procedures  on  cervical  spine  and  cord;  not  otherwise  specified   10  00604   Anesthesia  for  procedures  on  cervical  spine  and  cord;  procedures  with  patient  in  the  sitting  position   13  00620   Anesthesia  for  procedures  on  thoracic  spine  and  cord;  not  otherwise  specified   10  00625   Anesthesia  for  procedures  on  thoracic  spine  and  cord;  via  an  anterior  transthoracic  approach;  not  utilizing  1  lung

00626   Anesthesia  for  procedures  on  thoracic  spine  and  cord;  via  an  anterior  transthoracic  approach;  utilizing  1  lung  ventilation   15  

00630   Anesthesia  for  procedures  on  lumbar  region;  not  otherwise  specified   8  00670   Anesthesia  for  extensive  spine  and  spinal  cord  procedures  (eg,  spinal  instrumentation  or  vascular  procedures   13  

• Code  00670  is  appropriate  only  if  the  surgical  procedure  includes  segmental  or  non-­‐segmental  instrumentation  as  defined  in  CPT  or  if  the  procedure  includes  multiple  vertebral  segments  (minimum  three  vertebral  bodies  with  the  two  associated  interspaces)  

• Anesthesia  records  are  especially  challenging  as  the  documentation  of  the  procedure  may  be  very  brief  leaving  out  vital  information  needed  for  coding  appropriately  

o Your  coder  cannot  assume  “extensive”  spine  procedures  unless  specified  in  your  records  o Details  can  make  a  significant  difference  in  the  base  unit  values  

• Modifier  G9:  which  "would  be  attached  to  procedures  performed  on  patients  who  have  had  severe  cardio-­‐pulmonary  conditions,"  in  order  to  prevent  intraoperative  catastrophes.    

• G9  should  be  utilized  whenever  the  surgeon  feels  the  need  for  MAC  due  to  a  history  of  advanced  cardiopulmonary  disease.

o The  documentation  of  this  clinical  decision  making  process  and  the  need  for  additional  monitoring  must  be  clearly  documented  in  the  medical  record.      

Neurostimulators  • There  are  very  specific  diagnosis  that  are  required  for  authorization  • Specify  whether  initial  test  or  permanent  placement  • Make  sure  your  documentation  is  as  specific  as  possible,  especially  for  the  leads.    How  many  leads  and  how  many  

contacts  per  lead?  • Spinal  cord  stimulation  procedures  carry  a  90-­‐day  global  period.  You  can  still  report  the  patient's  follow-­‐up  

reprogramming  during  that  timeframe,  however,  by  adding  modifier  58  (Staged  or  related  procedure  or  service  by  the  same  physician  during  the  postoperative  period)  to  the  procedure  code.    

• For  analysis,  define  who  is  actually  providing  the  testing.      o In  the  office,  analysis  and  programming  may  be  furnished  by  a  physician,  practitioner  with  an  “incident    to”  benefit,  or  auxiliary  personnel  

under  the  direct  supervision  of  the  physician  (or  other  practitioner),  with  or  without  support  from  a  manufacturer’s  representative.    § Per  AMA:    “CPT  is  a  set  of  codes,  descriptions,  and  guidelines  intended  to  describe  procedures  and  services  performed  by  

physicians  and  other  health  care  providers,  therefore,  it  would  not  be  appropriate  to  report  this  code  if  performed  by  a  manufacturer’s  representative."  

§ The  patient  or  payer  should  not  be  billed  for  services  rendered  by  the  manufacturer’s  representative.    o Specify  whether  with  or  without  reprogramming  o Specify  simple  or  complex    

§ The  time  factor  has  been  eliminated  from  95972  and  code  95973  has  been  deleted  for  2016  for  the  complex  analysis.  

§ A  simple  analysis  would  address  three  or  fewer  of  the  following  parameters:    • Rate                                                                                                                           ●          Pulse  amplitude  • Pulse  duration       ●          Configuration  of  wave  form  • Battery  status       ●          Electrode  selectability  • Output  modulation       ●          Cycling  • Impedance       ●          Patient  compliance  measurements    

§ Complex  changes:  Code  95972  would  be  appropriate  when  addressing  more  than  three  of  the  parameters  mentioned  above.

Spinal  Procedures  For  epidurography  (72275):  

• Hard-­‐copy  images  in  multiple  planes  documenting  the  flow  of  contrast  must  be  obtained  (and  retained),  and  a  formal  radiologic  report  must  be  prepared.  

• The  use  of  code  72275  is  for  diagnostic  purposes  and  is  not  indicated  or  appropriate  to  use  for  needle  localization  in  the  majority  of  therapeutic  epidural  steroid  injections  or  similar  procedures  in  lieu  of  code  77003.    

• A  diagnostic  epidurography  is  to  determine  whether  there  are  obstructions  in  the  epidural  space  that  would  limit  the  spread  of  therapeutic  substances  that  may  be  injected,  such  as  a  neurolytic  substance  for  chemical  rhizotomy.    

• The  data  obtained  should  influence  and  improve  patient  treatment  options  and  contribute  new  information  to  that  already  obtained  from  other  spinal  imaging  procedures  commonly  used.    

• Epidurography  should  not  be  used  routinely  for  localization  with  the  performance  of  most  therapeutic  spinal  injection  procedures,  as  this  is  best  addressed  by  code  77003.

Moderate  Sedation  for  Spinal  Procedures  • Spinal  injection  procedures  do  include  moderate  sedation  as  a  component  in  the  CPT  code  and  can,  therefore,  be  

separately  billed  with  the  appropriate  documentation.    • Moderate  sedation  does  not  include  minimal  sedation  (anxiolysis),  deep  sedation  or  MAC.  • Moderate  sedation  services  provided  by  the  same  physician  or  other  qualified  health  care  professional  performing  the  

diagnostic  or  therapeutic  service  that  the  sedation  supports  requires:  o The  presence  of  an  independent,  trained  observer  to  assist  in  the  monitoring  of  the  patient's  level  of  

consciousness  and  physiological  status  o Time  must  be  recorded    

§ This  time  is  the  continuous  face-­‐to-­‐face  attendance  by  the  physician  providing  the  supervision  of  the  sedation.    The  time  stops  at  the  conclusion  of  personal  contact  by  the  physician  (leaves  the  room)
