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

This code describes a spinal fusion procedure specifically targeting the lumbosacral joint (L5-S1) performed using a minimally invasive percutaneous approach. The fusion is achieved with a custom-made, anatomically designed interbody fusion device, indicating a highly specialized implant tailored to the patient's anatomy. This procedure falls under a new technology group, signifying its innovative nature.

This code is appropriate for inpatient procedures where a patient undergoes a percutaneous L5-S1 interbody fusion due to conditions like degenerative disc disease, spondylolisthesis, or spinal instability, and the surgeon utilizes a patient-specific, anatomically designed interbody device. It should be selected when the operative report explicitly documents the use of such a custom implant and a percutaneous approach.

• Verify documentation explicitly states "custom-made" and "anatomically designed" for the interbody fusion device.
• Confirm the approach is "percutaneous" and not open or another minimally invasive technique.
• Ensure the fusion is specifically at the lumbosacral joint (L5-S1) and not other lumbar or sacral segments.
