CPT code 22633 does not include the decompression, so in cases where the patient had a ruptured disc and a hemilaminectomy with discectomy is performed, code 63030 may be additionally reported.

Had Mobi-C disc put in at C5-C6, however 1st surgery failed to remove bone spur sticking into my spinal cord. 2nd surgery took care of it. Recommend using Yelp or other online reviews of doctors.
