Hello,
Can someone tell me the correct CPT code for Kyphoplasty? Is it 88305 or 88307?
Gross Description:
Received in formalin is a specimen identified as "biopsy, L-1 vertebral body". The specimen consists of a single core portion of dark brown bone measuring 1.1 X .3 cm. Totally submitted in one block following decalcification.
Thank you for your help.
Ans - It isn't that you are looking for the code for the kyphoplasty, but rather coding for the specimen that was received from that procedure.
""biopsy, L-1 vertebral body". The specimen consists of a single core portion of dark brown bone measuring 1.1 X .3 cm." This says "biopsy" and the "core" is consistent with that. So, a bone biopsy is 88307.
I hope that helps.
