Cervical Spine Fluoroscopy Procedure Overview
This code group covers fluoroscopic imaging procedures of the cervical spine, an axial skeleton region excluding the skull and facial bones. Procedures in this group involve real-time or stored visualization of cervical vertebrae and related structures using external ionizing radiation displayed on a fluorescent screen or captured digitally. Accurate coding of these fluoroscopy procedures is important for inpatient reimbursement because it documents the imaging performed and supports appropriate case mix and payment.
