Neck Spine Decompression, One Level

South Dakota rates for HCPCS 63045

Relieves pressure on the spinal cord or a nerve root in the neck by removing bone from the back of one vertebra. The surgeon takes away part of the bony arch, part of the small facet joint and the roof of the tunnel the nerve travels through, so the crowded nerve or cord has room again. It covers one level of the spine; work at further levels is charged separately.
