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

What 22862 covers

This service addresses a previously implanted total artificial disc in a single lumbar interspace through an anterior approach, with revision or replacement work on the prosthesis. Spine surgeons, including orthopedic spine surgeons and neurosurgeons, commonly perform it in an operating room. The operative work may include exposing the disc space, correcting the implant problem, and placing a replacement prosthesis.

Report one unit for the treated interspace and document the prior implant, level, reason for revision, and work performed, including whether a replacement was placed. Medicare pays only in specific circumstances, so the record must support the applicable coverage circumstances. The service has a 90-day global period, including the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care. When multiple procedures are performed in the same session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and others receive the standard 50% reduction. Modifier 50 is inappropriate for this descriptor and anatomy. An assistant at surgery may be paid; co-surgeons and team surgery are permitted.

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.
