What 63307 covers

This service involves partial or complete removal of a lumbar or sacral vertebral body to access and excise an intradural spinal lesion. It is a major operation typically performed by a neurosurgeon or orthopedic spine surgeon in an operating room. An intradural mass is a representative clinical reason for the approach; the relevant distinctions are the lesion’s intradural location and the lumbar or sacral level.

Report the code for the qualifying vertebral segment and document the lesion’s location, the spinal level, and the vertebral-body resection performed. Code 63308 may be reported for each additional vertebral segment when applicable. CMS assigns a 90-day global period, including the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care. In a same-session multiple-procedure claim, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and other procedures are subject to the standard 50% reduction. Modifier 50 is inappropriate. An assistant at surgery may be paid; co-surgeon payment requires supporting documentation, and team surgery is not permitted.
