Would it be appropriate to report code 22612 for percutaneous minimally invasive stabilization and fusion of the non-cervical spine? The procedure involves dilating the treatment zone and placing a sleeve in contact with the lateral aspect of the spinous processes, which is then decorticated. Next, the appropriate implant size is determined, and bone graft is placed. The implant is then inserted into the interspinous process space, and a locking mechanism is deployed.
