ICD-‐10 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. • 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
ventilation 13
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.

SPINAL PROCEDURES | 2 of 6
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.
NEUROSTIMULATORS 63650 Percutaneous implantation of neurostimulator electrode array, epidural (This code may be used for the initial testing of the procedure) 63655 Laminectomy for implantation of neurostimulator electrodes, plate/paddle, epidural 63685 Insertion or replacement of spinal neurostimulator pulse generator or receiver, direct or inductive coupling 63661 Removal of spinal neurostimulator electrode percutaneous array(s), including fluoroscopy, when performed 63662 Removal of spinal neurostimulator electrode plate/paddle(s) placed via laminotomy or laminectomy, including fluoroscopy, when
performed 63663 Revision including replacement, when performed, of spinal neurostimulator electrode percutaneous array(s), including fluoroscopy
when performed 63664 Revision including replacement, when performed, of spinal neurostimulator electrode plate/paddle(s) placed via laminotomy or
laminectomy, including fluoroscopy when performed 63688 Revision or removal of implanted spinal neurostimulator pulse generator or receiver 95970 Electronic analysis of implanted neurostimulator pulse generator system (eg, rate, pulse amplitude, pulse duration, configuration of
wave form, battery status, electrode selectability, output modulation, cycling, impedance, and patient compliance measurements); simple or complex brain, spinal cord, or peripheral (ie, cranial nerve, peripheral nerve, sacral nerve, neuromuscular) neurostimulator pulse generator/transmitter, without reprogramming
95971 Electronic analysis of implanted neurostimulator pulse generator system (eg, rate, pulse amplitude, pulse duration, configuration of wave form, battery status, electrode selectability, output modulation, cycling, impedance, and patient compliance measurements); simple spinal cord or peripheral (ie, peripheral nerve, sacral nerve, neuromuscular) neurostimulator pulse generator/transmitter, with intraoperative or subsequent programming
95972 Electronic analysis of implanted neurostimulator pulse generator system (eg, rate, pulse amplitude, pulse duration, configuration of wave form, battery status, electrode selectability, output modulation, cycling, impedance, and patient compliance measurements); complex spinal cord or peripheral (ie, peripheral nerve, sacral nerve, neuromuscular) (except cranial nerve) neurostimulator pulse generator/transmitter, with intraoperative or subsequent programming

Implantable Infusion Pumps • Again, there are very specific diagnosis required for these procedures, be sure to check with the appropriate carrier
INTRATHECAL OR EPIDURAL DRUG INFUSION 62350 Implantation, revision, or repositioning of tunneled intrathecal or epidural catheter, for long-‐term medication administration via an
external Pump or implantable reservoir/infusion pump; without laminectomy 62362 Implantation or replacement of device for intrathecal or epidural drug infusion; programmable pump, including preparation of pump,
with or without programming 62355 Removal of previously implanted intrathecal or epidural catheter 62365 Removal of subcutaneous reservoir or pump, previously implanted for intrathecal or epidural infusion 62367 Electronic analysis of programmable, implanted pump for intrathecal or epidural drug infusion (includes evaluation of reservoir status,
alarm status, drug prescription status); without reprogramming or refill 62368 Electronic analysis of programmable, implanted pump for intrathecal or epidural drug infusion (includes evaluation of reservoir status,
alarm status, drug prescription status); with reprogramming 62369 Electronic analysis of programmable, implanted pump for intrathecal or epidural drug infusion (includes evaluation of reservoir status,
alarm status, drug prescription status); with reprogramming and refill 62370 Electronic analysis of programmable, implanted pump for intrathecal or epidural drug infusion (includes evaluation of reservoir status,
alarm status, drug prescription status); with reprogramming and refill (requiring skill of a physician or other qualified health care professional)
95990 Refilling and maintenance of implantable pump or reservoir for drug delivery, spinal (intrathecal, epidural) or brain (intraventricular), includes electronic analysis of pump, when performed -‐ Do not report these codes in conjunction with 62367-‐62370
95991 Refilling and maintenance of implantable pump or reservoir for drug delivery, spinal (intrathecal, epidural) or brain (intraventricular), includes electronic analysis of pump, when performed; requiring skill of a physician or other qualified health care professional Do not report these codes in conjunction with 62367-‐62370.
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.

SPINAL PROCEDURES | 4 of 6
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)
Moderate Sedation by the Same Provider Performing the Service 99144 Moderate sedation; 1st 30 minutes, age 5 years or older Time: ______________ to _______________
(At least 16 minutes or more would need to be documented to pass the minimal time threshold) 99145 +Each additional 15 minutes Time: ______________ to ________________
(At least 8 minutes or more would need to be documented to pass the minimal time threshold to qualify for this additional time unit)
Diagnosis Every procedure code has attached to it (by insurance companies) a number of diagnoses that supports the need for the procedure. Should a primary diagnosis fall outside of that “bucket” of codes, the claim is deleted from the automatic queue and requires further review. Based on that review, there may be a denial or a request for further information. Either way, there is created a time delay in payment for your services.
• If applicable, always state laterality • Detail anatomical locations • Detail approaches (open, endoscopic, closed) • State whether the patient is in the treatment (surgery, Emergency Department, etc.) or healing phase (most follow-‐up
visits) or is this a late effect/sequela of an injury? • State acute or chronic, old injury, any descriptive wording that help to illustrate the condition • State any “due to” or precipitating conditions • Include comorbid and relevant conditions that impact decision making or complicate surgery or procedure • Document trimester for all pregnant patients and number of weeks gestation in all settings (this impacts the code used)
