The new code will go into effect in January 2023, according to a Nov. 16 news release. Once in effect, physicians can use the code for two-level lumbar total disc arthroplasty via an anterior approach.
“Approval for a second level-specific CPT code is a critical milestone for lumbar total disc arthroplasty and reimbursement plays such a major role in whether patients have access to life-changing technologies,” Centinel Spine CEO Steve Murray said in the release.
Centinel Spine’s Prodisc L is the only total disc replacement system approved in the U.S. for two-level lumbar spine surgery.
At the Becker’s 32nd Annual Meeting: The Business and Operations of ASCs, taking place October 29-31 in Chicago, ASC leaders, surgeons and healthcare executives will explore strategies to drive growth, enhance operational performance, navigate reimbursement challenges and prepare for the future of ambulatory surgery.
