2025 – Cervical, Lumbar, and SI Joint Arthrodesis
$159.00
Discover the 5 Steps to Arthrodesis Coding. This coding course has successfully trained many nimble coders in spinal arthrodesis coding over the past few years. While spinal arthrodesis can be challenging to code, understanding the steps involved—consistent across various fusion types, whether cervical or lumbar, anterior or posterior—will help you identify the appropriate CPT codes to report. For instance, the process typically follows this progression: the approach leads to the fusion technique (anterior or posterior), followed by decompression (if performed), insertion of the biomechanical device and bone graft, and finally, spinal instrumentation.
