Patient has a slipped disk and undergoes a spinal fusion


Problem: Juana has a slipped disk and undergoes a spinal fusion. A bone dowel is applied at the time of surgery. Is the bone dowel included in the code for the spinal fusion? Please explain your answer. [Tips: Fusions are reported with codes from the Musculoskeletal System subsection, based on the approach used (i.e., anterior, posterior, anterolateral, or posterolateral). Think about would you report the application of the bone dowel separately with add-on codes (22853-22859) or not?] Need Assignment Help?
