Removal of Bone From a Lower-Back Vertebra

Nebraska rates for HCPCS 22102

Removes part of the bony arch at the back of a vertebra in the lower spine — the projections, the roof of the canal, or a small joint surface — to take out an abnormality growing within the bone itself. It treats a problem in the bone rather than a disc or a nerve pinch. It covers one vertebra.
