What 63308 covers

Code 63308 captures removal of an additional vertebral segment during transpedicular resection to excise an intraspinal lesion. Spine surgeons, including neurosurgeons and orthopedic spine surgeons, report it when the resection involves more segments than the primary procedure represents. The primary code distinguishes extradural from intradural disease and identifies the spinal region; this add-on accounts for each additional segment removed.

Report 63308 only with a qualifying primary procedure from 63300–63307, not for the first segment alone. The operative report should identify the lesion, its extradural or intradural relationship, the spinal region, and each additional vertebral segment resected. CMS treats 63308 as an add-on: it is billed only with a primary procedure and paid within that procedure’s global period. It is not a stand-alone service for a separate encounter.
