Placement of a Support Device During Spinal Fusion Surgery

New Jersey rates for HCPCS 22851

This covers the placement of a supportive device, such as a synthetic cage, mesh, or bone cement, into the space between two vertebrae during spinal fusion surgery. The device helps provide structural support to the spine and encourages the surrounding bones to grow together and stabilize. It is performed as an additional step alongside a larger spine surgery, not as a stand-alone treatment.
