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

What 22853 covers

This code represents placement of a biomechanical implant, such as a cage, into an intervertebral disc space during an interbody fusion. The device helps maintain disc-space height and support the fusion; its integral anterior instrumentation for interspace distraction is part of the service. Spine surgeons, including orthopedic spine surgeons and neurosurgeons, commonly perform this work during cervical or lumbar fusion procedures in an operating room.

Report one unit for each interspace receiving a device, not for each implant placed within that space. The operative report should identify the treated disc spaces, device placement, and the associated interbody arthrodesis. This is an add-on code: submit it with the primary fusion procedure, not by itself. CMS pays it within the primary procedure’s global period.
