2023 Day 2, Track 1: Spinal Procedures: Code it Right!
Spinal Procedures: Code It Right!
Leigh Poland, RHIA, CCS, CDIP. During this session, attendees will learn about 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. The session will also describe common CCs/MCCs seen with these procedures as well as how these procedure codes impact the MS-DRG and reimbursement.
