About 63283: Sacral intradural extramedullary tumor surgery
Reports laminectomy-based biopsy or removal of a neoplasm located inside the dura but outside the spinal cord at the sacral level.
A spine surgeon, commonly a neurosurgeon or orthopedic spine surgeon, uses a laminectomy to reach a sacral canal lesion, opens the dura, and biopsies or removes a tumor lying outside the spinal cord. A nerve-sheath tumor is a typical example of an intradural extramedullary lesion. The code is specific to the sacral level and does not describe a lesion outside the dura or one arising within the cord.
Report the service when the operative findings establish a sacral neoplasm in the intradural, extramedullary compartment and the surgeon performs biopsy or excision. The operative note should identify the level, lesion location relative to the dura and cord, and whether tissue was sampled or the lesion removed. Medicare assigns a 90-day global period, including the day-before preoperative visit and 90 days of related postoperative care. In the same session, the highest-valued procedure is paid in full and other procedures at 50%. Modifier 50 is inappropriate for this service. Assistant-at-surgery payment may be made; co-surgeon payment requires supporting documentation, and team surgery is not permitted.

63283 billing questions
How is this code different from 63278?
This code is for a sacral neoplasm inside the dura but outside the spinal cord. Code 63278 describes a sacral neoplasm outside the dura.
When would 63273 be considered instead?
Code 63273 is for excision of a sacral intradural, extramedullary lesion other than a neoplasm. Use this code when the lesion is a neoplasm and the surgeon performs biopsy or excision.
Does this code cover a tumor within the spinal cord?
No. It describes an intradural lesion outside the cord; a neoplasm arising within the cord belongs to the intramedullary code family.
Can modifier 50 be used for a bilateral sacral lesion?
No. The CMS bilateral adjustment does not apply to this service, and modifier 50 is inappropriate.
What postoperative care is included in the global period?
The 90-day global period includes the day-before preoperative visit and related postoperative care for 90 days.
What documentation supports reporting this code?
Document the sacral level, the neoplasm's intradural extramedullary location, and whether the surgeon biopsied or excised it. The operative report should distinguish the lesion from one outside the dura or within the cord.
Where these rates come from
FeeBase calculates base physician payments from CMS work, practice-expense, and malpractice RVUs, adjusted by each locality’s geographic indices and the applicable conversion factor. Unavailable or separately priced services are labeled rather than assigned a made-up amount.
