Below is a list summarizing the CPT codes for posterior, posterolateral, or lateral transverse technique arthrodesis procedures on the spine (vertebral column).
CPT Code 22590
CPT 22590 describes arthrodesis, posterior technique, and craniocervical (occiput-C2).
CPT Code 22595
CPT 22595 describes arthrodesis, posterior technique, and atlas-axis (C1-C2).
CPT Code 22600
CPT 22600 describes arthrodesis, posterior or posterolateral technique, and single interspace of the cervical segment below C2.
CPT Code 22610
CPT 22610 describes arthrodesis of a single thoracic interspace using a posterior or posterolateral technique, with a lateral transverse technique when performed.
CPT Code 22612
CPT 22612 describes arthrodesis of a single interspace of the lumbar spine using a posterior or posterolateral technique, with a lateral transverse technique when performed.
CPT Code 22630
CPT 22630 describes arthrodesis of a single interspace in the lumbar region, including laminectomy and/or discectomy to prepare the interspace (other than for decompression).
CPT Code 22633
