Second Level Treated With A Spinal Spacer

Rhode Island rates for HCPCS 22870

Covers treating a second level of the lower spine when a spacer device is placed between the bony projections at the back of the vertebrae to hold them slightly apart and take pressure off the nerves. Holding the level open relieves the leg pain and heaviness that come on with walking and ease when leaning forward. It is billed in addition to the first level treated.
