Fusion 2-6 C Jt w Cust Intbd Fus Dev, Perc, New Tech 11

This code describes a spinal fusion procedure involving two or more cervical vertebrae. It specifically utilizes a custom-designed, patient-specific interbody fusion device, implanted through a percutaneous (minimally invasive) approach. This represents a novel surgical technique for stabilizing the cervical spine.

This code is appropriate for inpatient procedures where a surgeon performs a multi-level cervical fusion using a 3D-printed or otherwise custom-fabricated interbody device. It applies when the approach is percutaneous, avoiding a large incision. This would be used for conditions like multi-level cervical spondylosis, instability, or disc herniation requiring fusion with this specific new technology.

• Ensure documentation explicitly states "custom-made" or "anatomically designed" interbody fusion device.
• Verify the approach is documented as "percutaneous" for accurate code assignment.
• Confirm that at least two cervical vertebral joints are fused to meet the code's specificity.
