Fusion Cerv Jt w Cust Intbd Fus Dev, Perc, New Tech 11

This code describes a minimally invasive surgical procedure to permanently join two or more cervical vertebrae. It specifically involves the insertion of a patient-specific, custom-designed interbody fusion device to stabilize the spinal segment and promote bone growth across the joint.

This code is used when a patient undergoes a cervical spinal fusion for conditions like degenerative disc disease, cervical spondylosis, or instability, and the surgeon utilizes a unique, custom-fabricated interbody device via a percutaneous approach. It is applicable for procedures performed using technology designated as New Technology Group 11.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies the use of a "custom-made anatomically designed interbody fusion device" and a "percutaneous approach."
• Verify that the technology used falls under New Technology Group 11, as this is a specific character in the code.
• Confirm the vertebral level(s) fused are cervical, as this code is site-specific.
