NAME OF PROCEDURE:
1. C5 corpectomy.
2. C3-4, C6-7 and C7-T1 anterior cervical diskectomy with fusion with polyetheretherketone interbody spacer and demineralized bone matrix allograft.
3. Anterior arthrodesis, C4-C6, with Ulrich expandable titanium cage and morcellized autograft.
4. Anterior plating C3 through T1 with Orthofix Hallmark titanium plate.
5. Harvest autograft through the same incision.
I am confused how to code a corpectomy with fusion and the addition of the of other levels of anterior discectomies/fusion. Do I use 22554, 22854 and 22551,22552,22853 x2?
Appreciate any help and guidance!
