What 63075 covers

A spine surgeon uses an anterior neck approach to remove disc material and, when needed, osteophytes compressing the spinal cord or nerve roots at one cervical interspace below C2. The operation is commonly performed in a hospital operating room for cervical radiculopathy or myelopathy associated with disc disease. The code represents decompression at one interspace, not removal of a vertebral body.

Documentation should identify the anterior approach, the treated interspace, and the disc or other compressive tissue removed to decompress the cord or nerve roots. Report 63076 for each additional cervical interspace treated when its add-on requirements are met. The 90-day global includes 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 at 50%. Assistant-at-surgery payment and co-surgeons are permitted; team surgery is not permitted.
