What is the CPT code for Lateral Interbody Fusion?
The XLIF (extreme lateral interbody fusion) is typically reported using 22558.
What is a spinal interspace?
The space between two vertebral bodies is called the intervertebral space, or interspace, and contains an intervertebral disc. These discs are made of an outer fibrocartilage ring that surrounds the nucleus pulposus, a gelatinous substance. The disc acts as a shock absorber between the vertebrae as they move.
What is procedure code 22614?
CPT® Code 22614 in section: Arthrodesis, posterior or posterolateral technique, single level.
What is the CPT code 20931?
CPT® 20931, Under General Grafts (or Implants) Procedures on the Musculoskeletal System.

What is the difference between CPT code 63030 and 63047?
In addition, 63030 is a unilateral code, and should be reported for the first occurrence of disc herniation, CPT explains. By contrast, Code 63047 is used to report procedures performed for lateral recess stenosis, for example, caused by either ligamentum flavum hypertrophy or facet arthropathy.
What is the CPT code 22558?
CPT® Code 22558 in section: Arthrodesis, anterior interbody technique, including minimal discectomy to prepare interspace (other than for decompression)
What is procedure code 22632?
22632. ARTHRODESIS, POSTERIOR INTERBODY TECHNIQUE, INCLUDING LAMINECTOMY AND/OR DISCECTOMY TO PREPARE INTERSPACE (OTHER THAN FOR DECOMPRESSION), SINGLE INTERSPACE; EACH ADDITIONAL INTERSPACE (LIST SEPARATELY IN ADDITION TO CODE FOR PRIMARY PROCEDURE) 22633.
What is procedure code 20937?
A: CPT code 20937 is defined as “Autograft for spine surgery only (includes harvesting the graft); morselized (through separate skin or fascial incision) (List separately in addition to code for primary procedure).”
What is the CPT code for anterior spinal instrumentation?
Since anterior spinal instrumentation (e.g. +22846) bundles into +22853 and +22854 when a separate plate is not used (i.e. anterior spinal fixation is not separately reportable when integrated fixation through the cage is performed), you will use modifier 59 for this code. Morselized allograft is reported with CPT
What is the CPT code for an anterior interbody procedure?
No. providing the exposure for a neurosurgeon for an anterior spine procedure is co-surgery, since code 22558, Arthrodesis, anterior interbody technique includes both the exposure/approach and the work on the spine. Both surgeons append the co-surgery modifier 62 to code 22558.
What is the CPT code for approach and fusion surgery?
The general surgeon would report 22558-62 for the approach and the neurosurgeon would also report 22558-62 for the fusion. We also do the exposure for the spine surgeries and that is also how we bill it.
