Additional Thoracic Decompression with Costovertebral Approach

To relieve symptoms caused by spinal cord or nerve root pressure, the provider performs a decompression service, such as removing a disc from the spine. This code describes each additional thoracic segment treated after the first at the same session. The provider uses a costovertebral approach, which refers to where the ribs and spine meet.
