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

This code describes a minimally invasive spinal fusion procedure performed on a cervical vertebral joint. It specifically involves the insertion of a patient-specific, anatomically designed interbody fusion device via a percutaneous endoscopic approach to stabilize the joint. This procedure utilizes a novel technology categorized within New Technology Group 11.

This code is appropriate for inpatient encounters where a cervical spinal fusion is performed using a percutaneous endoscopic technique. It is specifically for cases employing a custom-made interbody fusion device that is anatomically designed for the patient and falls under New Technology Group 11. This would typically be for conditions like cervical disc degeneration, instability, or herniation requiring surgical stabilization.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies a "custom-made" and "anatomically designed" interbody fusion device.
• Verify the approach is explicitly documented as "percutaneous endoscopic."
• Confirm the device used is identified as belonging to "New Technology Group 11."
