CPT 63003 describes laminectomy with exploration and/or decompression of the spinal cord and/or cauda equina without facetectomy, foraminotomy, or discectomy (e.g., spinal stenosis) for one or two thoracic vertebral segments.

CPT Code 63005

CPT 63005 describes laminectomy with exploration and/or decompression of the spinal cord and/or cauda equina, without facetectomy, foraminotomy, or discectomy, for 1 or 2 vertebral segments in the lumbar region, except for spondylolisthesis.

CPT Code 63011

CPT 63011 describes laminectomy with exploration and/or decompression of the spinal cord and/or cauda equina without facetectomy, foraminotomy, or discectomy (e.g., spinal stenosis) for one or two vertebral segments in the sacral region.

CPT Code 63012

CPT 63012 describes a Gill-type procedure involving a laminectomy with the removal of abnormal facets and/or pars inter-articularis, as well as the decompression of the cauda equina and nerve roots, for spondylolisthesis in the lumbar region.

CPT Code 63015

CPT 63015 describes laminectomy with exploration and/or decompression of the spinal cord and/or cauda equina, without facetectomy, foraminotomy, or discectomy (e.g., spinal stenosis) for more than two vertebral segments in the cervical region.

CPT Code 63016

CPT 63016 describes laminectomy with exploration and/or decompression of the spinal cord and/or cauda equina, without facetectomy, foraminotomy, or discectomy (e.g., spinal stenosis) for more than two thoracic vertebral segments.

CPT Code 63017

CPT 63017 describes laminectomy with exploration and/or decompression of the spinal cord and/or cauda equina, without facetectomy, foraminotomy, or discectomy, for spinal stenosis involving more than two lumbar vertebral segments.

CPT Code 63020

CPT 63020 describes a laminotomy (hemilaminectomy) with decompression of nerve root(s), including partial facetectomy, foraminotomy, and/or excision of the herniated intervertebral disc in one cervical interspace.

CPT Code 63030

CPT 63030 describes a laminotomy (hemilaminectomy) with decompression of nerve root(s), including partial facetectomy, foraminotomy, and/or excision of the herniated intervertebral disc in one lumbar interspace.

CPT Code 63040

CPT 63040 describes a laminotomy (hemilaminectomy) with decompression of nerve root(s), including partial facetectomy, foraminotomy and/or excision of the herniated intervertebral disc, reexploration, and single interspace in the cervical region.

CPT Code 63042

CPT 63042 describes a laminotomy (hemilaminectomy) with decompression of nerve root(s), including partial facetectomy, foraminotomy and/or excision of the herniated intervertebral disc, reexploration, and single interspace in the lumbar region.

CPT Code 63045

CPT 63045 describes a laminectomy, facetectomy, and foraminotomy (unilateral or bilateral with decompression of spinal cord, cauda equina, and/or nerve root[s], [e.g., spinal or lateral recess stenosis]) of a single vertebral segment in the cervical region.

CPT Code 63046

CPT 63046 describes a laminectomy, facetectomy, and foraminotomy (unilateral or bilateral with decompression of spinal cord, cauda equina, and/or nerve root[s], [e.g., spinal or lateral recess stenosis]) of a single thoracic vertebral segment.

CPT Code 63047

CPT 63047 describes a laminectomy, facetectomy, and foraminotomy (unilateral or bilateral with decompression of spinal cord, cauda equina, and/or nerve root[s], [e.g., spinal or lateral recess stenosis]) of a single vertebral segment in the lumbar region.

CPT Code 63050

CPT 63050 describes laminoplasty with spinal cord decompression in two or more cervical vertebral segments.

CPT Code 63051

CPT 63051 describes laminoplasty with decompression of the spinal cord in two or more vertebral segments, as well as reconstruction of the posterior bony elements with the application of bridging bone graft and non-segmental fixation devices.
