California rates for HCPCS 22859

Puts a support device - such as a synthetic cage or mesh - into the space between two spinal bones or into a gap left in a spinal bone, restoring height and holding the spine in position. The device carries the load that the missing disc or bone would have carried. It is billed in addition to the main spinal operation.
