Speaking Engagement: An Organized Approach to Outpatient and Professional Fee Coding for Spine

Join Deanna Upston at ILHIMA’s Annual Meeting!

This session will take an organized approach to CPT coding for spinal fusions. We will do a deep dive into the four main components required to completely and accurately capture all procedures that can be performed: grafting, arthrodesis, decompression and instrumentation. There will also be some anatomy and many helpful tips and tricks throughout.

Learning Objectives:

• Describe individual components in spinal arthrodesis.
• Identify structures, anatomy and approaches to spinal arthrodesis.
• Interpret the differences in CPT code descriptions to allow correct code choice.
