AANS Cervical Spine Procedure Coding Principles: Intro to Cervical Coding Cases-Cervical Coding Part II

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, the speaker provides specific case illustrations to help viewers understand cervical coding. The speaker emphasizes the importance of accuracy in coding and aims to guide viewers in coding various cases, including single-level ACDF, multi-level ACDF, single-level cervical arthroplasty, two-level cervical arthroplasty, and posterior cervical foraminotomy. The video focuses on ICD-10 and CPT coding for diagnoses such as cervical radiculopathy, myelopathy, stenosis, and spondylosis. Each case is summarized, including patient history, examination findings, and imaging results. The speaker explains the coding rationale for each case, detailing the relevant diagnosis code and corresponding procedure codes for surgeries, such as cervical discectomy with fusion, arthrodesis, and artificial disc placement. The video concludes by mentioning potential complications, such as osteolysis, and the corresponding codes for remedial procedures, like removal of a total disc arthroplasty and conversion to ACDF. Overall, the video aims to provide practical coding guidance for cervical cases. No credits are mentioned.
