Medicare allowed amount for participating (non-QP) physicians, before deductible, coinsurance and claim adjustments. Not a patient’s bill or a hospital charge.

What 22632 covers

This add-on represents fusion at an additional lumbar disc space using a posterior interbody approach, such as a multilevel posterior lumbar interbody fusion or transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion. Spine surgeons, including orthopedic surgeons and neurosurgeons, perform these procedures in the operating room. The additional level must receive the interbody fusion technique; simply extending a posterolateral fusion to another vertebral segment is a different service.

Report one unit for each additional lumbar interspace beyond the first, with the primary posterior interbody fusion code 22630. The operative report should identify the treated interspaces and document posterior interbody arthrodesis at each additional level. CMS classifies 22632 as an add-on code: it is billed only with a primary procedure and paid within that procedure’s global period.
