Computer-Guided Navigation Add-On (CT/MRI-Based)

Pennsylvania rates for HCPCS 0055T

This add-on service is performed alongside a bone or joint surgery, using a computer navigation system built from a CT or MRI scan taken before the operation to track instrument position more precisely. It is billed in addition to the main procedure, such as a joint replacement or spine surgery, rather than standing alone. This version relies on a pre-operative scan rather than live X-ray images taken during surgery.
