Our Neurosurgery coder had to be out unexpectedly – I am only confusing myself the more I read! Please help!
1. Left-sided lumbar microlaminectomy and discectomy for HNP – L5-S1
2. Lumbar facet fusion for joint laxity. L5-S1
I believe I am confused on the combo codes – when and when not to use them! Any help is appreciated!!;)
