Are You at Risk for Miscoding Facet Neurotomy?

Appropriate coding is more important than ever.  The International Spine Intervention Society encourages its members to assure that they and their billing staff are reporting the correct CPT codes for services performed.  In case of radiofrequency neurotomy, since January 2012, the codes should be reported per facet joint not on a ‘per nerve’ basis.  The codes also include imaging guidance, which should not be coded separately.
