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

What 63082 covers

A spine surgeon performs this additional-segment service through an anterior cervical approach, removing vertebral body tissue to relieve pressure on the spinal cord or nerve roots. It may be part of surgery for cervical myelopathy caused by degenerative narrowing or other pathology requiring vertebral body removal, and is typically performed in an operating room. The code represents an additional cervical segment, not the first segment treated.

Report it with the primary cervical vertebral body decompression code, 63081, when the operative report supports removal and neural decompression at an additional segment. Documentation should identify the cervical levels treated, the anterior approach, and the decompression performed at each additional segment. CMS classifies this as an add-on code: it is billed only with a primary procedure and paid within that procedure’s global period.
