LDR Holding Corporation announced in a company press release that the Current Procedural Terminology Editorial Panel has accepted the addition of Category I code 22858X as an add-on code. This additional code enables the Mobi-C cervical disc to be utilized in two-level cervical arthroplasty procedures, as noted in the release.

The coding change is effective Jan. 1, 2015, and was recently disclosed on the American Medical Association website, according to LDR Holding officials.

“This coding change is a significant milestone in the field of cervical disc replacement,” Christophe Lavigne, LDR president and chief executive officer, stated.

“We feel that this is another important step in the process to provide broad availability to this beneficial treatment option to patients suffering from two-level cervical disc disease,” he stated.

Concurrent with this addition will be the elimination of the Category III code 0092T, according to the release.
