What 22210 covers

This code represents a posterior or posterolateral osteotomy at one cervical vertebral segment; discectomy performed as part of the corrective work is included. The surgeon removes or reshapes bone to mobilize a rigid deformity, such as fixed cervical kyphosis, and improve alignment. Orthopedic spine surgeons and neurosurgeons typically perform the procedure in an operating room as part of cervical deformity reconstruction.

Choose the code when the operative report supports one treated cervical segment and the posterior or posterolateral approach. Document the level, approach, osteotomy work, and number of segments. The service has a 90-day global period, including the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care. For multiple procedures in the same session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and others at 50%. Modifier 50 is not appropriate. An assistant at surgery may be paid; co-surgeons require supporting documentation, and team surgery is not permitted.

Where these rates come from

FeeBase calculates base physician payments from CMS work, practice-expense and malpractice RVUs, adjusted by each locality’s geographic indexes and the conversion factor. Services without a published rate are labeled, never given a made-up amount. Amounts are Medicare allowed amounts before claim adjustments: not a patient’s bill or a commercial rate.
