Initial vertebroplasty and Initial Kyphoplasty
Date: Dec 13, 2023
Question:
We have a debate amongst our team as to if you can charge an initial vertebroplasty and initial kyphoplasty in the same operative session. The patient had a T5 and T7 kyphoplasty and T12 and L1 vertebroplasty. Can we charge 22511 and 22512 for the vertebroplasty and 22513 and 22515 for the kyphoplasty?
