Anterior and Posterior (combined) Spinal fusion under one anaesthetic via separate incisions - Items 51061 to 51066

Only one of these items should be billed for any appropriate combined anterior and posterior surgeries which are completed under one anaesthetic. The appropriate item is determined by the number of motion segments to which grafting and fusion occur.

These items cannot be claimed with any item between 51020 to 51026, 51031 to 51036 and 51041 to 51045.

If a laminectomy is included, an item from 51011 to 51015 can also be used appropriate to the level of decompression.
