Interspinous Spacer, Additional Lower-Back Level

California rates for HCPCS 0172T

A further spacer is placed between the bony bumps at the back of the lower spine at an additional level, during the same operation. It holds that level slightly apart so squeezed nerves have more room. It is billed in addition to the main procedure.
