Question

**Two points extra credit for every code - Assignment worth total of 14 extra credit points ** 1. Two surgeons work together to perform an arthrodesis. Dr. Bonet, a general surgeon, makes the anterior incision to gain access to the spine for the arthrodesis procedure. Dr. Carpenter, the neurosurgeon, takes over and performs the anterior interbody arthrodesis on level T9-T10 utilizing a structural allograft. To stabilize the fusion site, the same physician also applied anterior instrumentation to T9-T10. Dr. Bonet comes back to perform the closure after the arthrodesis on the patient. Each physician documents his portion of the same procedure in separate operative reports. How should the professional services be reported? Dr. Bonet: Dr. Carpenter: 2. A single physician performed posterior arthrodesis on levels T1-T8 for a patient with severe kyphosis utilizing an autograft from the patient's rib (obtained through the same incision). To stabilize the fusion site, the same physician also applied posterior segmental instrumentation to T1-T8. How should the professional services be reported?
