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

What 63056 covers

A spine surgeon uses a transpedicular route through a lumbar vertebra to reach and decompress neural structures, such as when a herniated disc or another extradural lesion is compressing them. The code describes work at one lumbar segment. This is an operative service, typically performed in a hospital or other surgical facility by an orthopedic spine surgeon or neurosurgeon.

Report the code when the operative documentation supports both the transpedicular approach and decompression at a single lumbar segment. Identify the treated level, compressive pathology, and work performed; a routine lumbar laminotomy or decompression by a different approach is not this service. The day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care are included in its 90-day global period. When multiple procedures are performed in the same session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and other procedures are subject to the standard 50% multiple-procedure reduction. Assistant-at-surgery payment may be made; co-surgeon payment requires supporting documentation, and team surgery is not permitted.
