Kyphoplasty Coding

Question:

How do you report a kyphoplasty at 2 different spine regions, for example at T12 and L1?

Answer:

Use one primary procedure code and an add-on code for additional levels even when crossing spinal regions. Example: T12 and L1 kyphoplasty is reported using 22513 and +22515,not22513 and 22514.
