Balloon-Assisted Spine Bone Repair, Mid-Back

Nebraska rates for HCPCS 22513

This procedure treats a compressed or fractured vertebra in the mid-back (thoracic spine) by inserting a small balloon through the skin to create space within the bone, then filling that space with a cement-like material to restore height and stability. It's typically used for compression fractures related to osteoporosis, injury, or tumors. The balloon step distinguishes it from a simpler cement-only version of vertebral repair.
