Product Description

Getting it right the first time means matching the CPT descriptors with the surgeon’s notes.

The CPT editorial explanations of segment, interspace and level make it difficult for coders to understand the application of laminectomy and laminotomy codes for multilevel decompressions.

Join neurosurgeon, and coding expert, Greg Przybylski, MD for this 1-hour audio session where he will reveal methods to determine the number of decompressive levels performed and what differentiates a laminectomy and laminotomy.

Here's just a sample of what Dr. Przybylski will cover:

Keys and details to differentiate laminectomy from laminotomy
How to properly determine the number of levels decompressed
Know when a laminectomy is bundled into another procedure
Differentiate unilateral from bilateral decompression codes
Services that are bundled with laminectomy and laminotomy
Choose the best code reflecting the laminectomy approach used every time

Who should attend? Neurosurgical and orthopaedic spine office managers, coders, and physicians.
