What 22216 covers

This add-on represents an additional vertebral segment treated during a posterior or posterolateral spinal osteotomy, including the discectomy described for this procedure family. Spine surgeons may perform these osteotomies during surgery to correct spinal deformity, such as kyphosis or scoliosis. The code applies to an additional segment beyond the first; the primary code identifies the spinal region and the initial segment treated.

Report 22216 with the corresponding primary osteotomy code for the first segment, selecting that code by cervical, thoracic, or lumbar region. Documentation should identify the approach, the vertebral segments treated, and the osteotomy performed at each additional segment. The add-on is billed only with a primary procedure and its payment falls within that procedure’s global period.

This summary was written with AI assistance from CMS physician fee schedule data and checked against the CMS billing rules shown here. Rates on this page come directly from CMS files.

22216 billing questions

When is 22216 reported instead of 22214?

22214 reports the first lumbar segment treated with the applicable posterior or posterolateral osteotomy. Use 22216 for each additional segment treated in that procedure.

Which primary code must accompany 22216?

Report it with the primary code for the first segment: 22210 for cervical, 22212 for thoracic, or 22214 for lumbar.

How many units of 22216 should be reported?

Report one unit for each additional vertebral segment treated beyond the first. The operative report should support the number and location of those segments.

Can the included discectomy be billed separately as part of this service?

The osteotomy code family includes discectomy in its described service. Do not separately report the discectomy when it is part of the work represented by the osteotomy.

How does the add-on payment relate to the primary procedure?

22216 is billed only with a primary procedure, and its payment falls within that primary procedure’s global period.

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.
