Dynesys® Dynamic Stabilization System - Coding Guidance

The following pages contain coding guidance for the Dynesys System. The coding guidance is intended to illustrate the CPT® codes, ICD-9-CM procedure codes, and MS-DRG assignments commonly used to describe procedures associated with implantation of the Dynesys Dynamic Stabilization System as a pedicle screw fixation system. This guidance is not intended to be all-inclusive and the listed codes may not be applicable in all cases.

This coding information reflects the use of the Dynesys System as an adjunct to fusion. Any other use of the Dynesys System is not cleared for marketing by the FDA, and this coding guidance does not apply.
