Aspen interspinous device
Per Nass recommendation, the Aspen device should be billed with unlisted 22899. Does everyone agree and has anyone been paid billing this code? Thanks, Shelly
re: Aspen interspinous device
In 2010 the AANS and AAOS recommend using 22841 for the Aspen Spinous Process Fixation System.
The CPT® Knowledge Base recently recommended using 22899 to report the Aspen device.
The 2010 AHA Coding Clinic also recommended using 22899 for the Aspen device.
I believe now the AANS and AAOS also recommend using 22899.
