Annual Meeting
Overview
In this session, we will discuss the information required to accurately assign the characters of a spinal fusion procedure code. Additionally, this session will identify those procedures performed during a spinal fusion that are considered integral and are not assigned additional codes—versus those that are not considered integral and are assigned separate codes. We will also describe common CCs/MCCs seen with these procedures as well as how these procedure codes impact the MS-DRG and reimbursement. The core objective of this presentation is to assess and understand the various concepts and code sets for spinal fusion surgery for more precise coding.
