Fusion Lum Jt w Cust Intbd Fus Dev, Perc Endo, New Tech 7

This code describes a minimally invasive spinal fusion procedure performed on a lumbar vertebral joint. It specifically involves the insertion of a patient-specific, 3D-printed interbody fusion device designed to precisely fit the patient's anatomy, utilizing an endoscopic approach through a small incision. This advanced technique aims to stabilize the spine and promote bone growth between the vertebrae.

This code is appropriate for cases where a patient undergoes a lumbar interbody fusion using a custom-made, anatomically designed implant. It is specifically for procedures performed endoscopically via a percutaneous approach, indicating a less invasive surgical method. This typically applies to patients with degenerative disc disease, spondylolisthesis, or other conditions requiring spinal stabilization who are candidates for this novel technology.

• Ensure documentation clearly specifies the use of a "custom-made" or "patient-specific" anatomically designed interbody fusion device.
• Verify the approach is documented as "percutaneous endoscopic" to differentiate from open or other minimally invasive approaches.
• Confirm the procedure is performed on a lumbar vertebral joint; this code is specific to the lumbar region.
