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

What 61783 covers

This add-on captures computer-assisted navigation used during an operation on the spine. The surgeon uses imaging and a navigation system to orient instruments to spinal anatomy during procedures such as fusion, deformity correction, or surgery involving a spinal lesion. Orthopedic spine surgeons and neurosurgeons typically perform these operations in a hospital operating room. The navigation service supports the primary operation; it is not the spinal operation itself.

Report 61783 only with an eligible primary procedure, not by itself. The operative record should establish that computer-assisted navigation was used and describe its role in guiding the spinal procedure. It is paid within the primary procedure's global period, so it is not separately reported as a later postoperative service. For example, navigation used during a lumbar fusion may support reporting this add-on with the fusion procedure when coding requirements are met.
