Image-Less Computer Navigation In Bone Surgery

Georgia rates for HCPCS 20985

During an orthopedic operation the surgeon uses a computer navigation system to guide instruments and implants more precisely than by hand alone. This version works without any scan images: the system is set up from landmarks the surgeon registers on the patient during the operation itself. It is extra guidance billed in addition to the main procedure, not a service on its own.
