Description
This webinar builds on the instruction from parts 1 and 2 of the PCS spinal fusion series with a look at more complex procedures, including 360-degree fusions, corpectomy, and fusions involving multiple vertebral levels. We will walk through some more complex case studies than those presented in previous webinars.
Objectives:
- Identify the number of codes necessary to report a 360-degree fusion of the lumbar spine
- Recognize posterior fusion in operative report documentation
- Determine the PCS body part values for spinal fusions spanning several levels

I feel more confident coding 360 degree fusions, and what to omit from the codes.

I can now picture in my head what is being done during the spinal fusions. Before all I could do was read the Dr documentation and imagine what it looked like. It makes much more sense to me now.

The diagram of the posterior fusion showed where the bone graft is placed. This visual was new and informative to me. I appreciated that diagram.
