Since very early on in my career, one of my bucket list items has been to attend the CPT® Symposium. So this year, when I was offered the chance to go, it felt like a dream come true. And folks, let me tell you, it was everything I hoped for and more.

I came out of the symposium filled to the brim with information. So many changes! All of which go into effect on January 1, 2022, and of course, you can find them all in your 2022 CPT® codebook. However, some changes really stood out to me because of their importance.

For example, six new codes were added to adequately code for the anesthesia for radiological procedures on the spine, such as percutaneous injections, destructions, and intravertebral procedures, including new codes for thermal destruction of spinal nerves, 64628 and 64629. This new procedure uses radiofrequency to destroy the basivertebral nerve, which can relieve chronic low back pain.

Super important, right? And there’s so much more!
