My physician performs surgery on the spine that includes laminectomy, decompression of the spine, facetectomy of the L2 vertebra, and laminotomy with excision of the intervertebral disk at L1. Is it appropriate to report CPT codes 63030 (REVISED IN 2012) and 63047 to identify the specific procedures performed?
