Local Bone Graft for Spinal Fusion

Arkansas rates for HCPCS 20936

An add-on service in which bone tissue is collected from the same surgical opening already being used for a spinal fusion procedure and used to help the vertebrae grow together. Because it is taken through the existing incision, no separate cut is needed to obtain the graft material. It is provided in addition to the main spinal fusion procedure, not as a stand-alone surgery.
