CPT code 63030 Laminotomy (hemilaminectomy), with decompression of nerve root(s), including partial facetectomy, foraminotomy and/or excision of herniated intervertebral disc; one interspace, lumbar (including open or endoscopically assisted approach) should be used. Code 63035 would be assigned in addition to the primary procedure for each additional interspace. Code 63020 would be assigned for cervical level procedures.
