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

What 63306 covers

A spine surgeon, commonly a neurosurgeon or orthopedic spine surgeon, removes part or all of a vertebral body in the thoracolumbar region as part of excising an intradural spinal lesion. The operative distinction is the lesion’s position within the dura and the vertebral region treated; this is not the corresponding service for an extradural lesion.

Select the code from the operative report’s documented lesion location and vertebral level. Documentation should establish the intradural lesion, the thoracolumbar site, the extent of vertebral body removal, and the number of segments treated. Report 63308 for an additional vertebral segment when its requirements are met. This major surgery has a 90-day global period, including the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care. In a same-session multiple-procedure setting, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and other procedures at 50%. Modifier 50 is inappropriate for this anatomy. Assistant-at-surgery payment may be available; co-surgeons require supporting documentation, and team surgery is not permitted.

FeeBase calculates base physician payments from CMS work, practice-expense and malpractice RVUs, adjusted by each locality’s geographic indexes and the conversion factor. Services without a published rate are labeled, never given a made-up amount. Amounts are Medicare allowed amounts before claim adjustments: not a patient’s bill or a commercial rate.
