What 63076 covers

This add-on describes anterior removal of disc material and decompression of the spinal cord or nerve roots at an additional cervical interspace. A neurosurgeon or orthopedic spine surgeon may perform it for multilevel cervical disc disease, such as when compression affects more than one disc space. The service may be performed in a hospital or another surgical facility, with or without a separately coded fusion procedure.

Report 63076 for each additional cervical interspace treated after the primary level, and pair it with 63075. The operative report should identify the cervical levels treated and describe the disc removal and neural decompression at each level. If an anterior cervical fusion code includes the discectomy and decompression at a level, those services are not separately reported again for that same level. CMS classifies 63076 as an add-on: it is billed only with a primary procedure and paid within that procedure’s global period.
