Question: STATEMENT- I an trying to be as "Non-Descriptive" as possible:
>
the current XXXXXXX ICD-10-CM (diagnosis) medical billing code, ICD-I0 CODE M47.12, as, "Other Spondylosis with Myelopathy, Cervical Region"
>.
Other - in addition to the thing that has already been mentioned.
>
Spondylosis - is more of a descriptive term than it is a clinical diagnosis. It translates to mean, that one has both pain and spine degeneration, regardless of what is causing the pain or where the degeneration is occurring.
>
Myelopathy - any functional disturbance or pathological change in the spinal cord; often used to denote nonspecific lesions,
>
Cervical Region - the uppermost in location within the spinal column that supports the skull and protect the spinal cord, a bundle of nerves connected to the brain.
>
THEREFORE, the Diagnosis Condition Known as, “Other Spondylosis with Myelopathy, Cervical Region”, Means
>
regarding one’s pain and spine degeneration, regardless of what is causing the pain or where the degeneration is occurring in, from any nonspecific functional disturbance or pathological change in addition to the nonspecific thing that has already been mentioned in the uppermost part of the spinal column that supports the skull and protect a bundle of nerves connected to the brain inside a spinal cord.”
>
NO neurosurgeon knows “specifically why” or “specifically how” Other Spondylosis with Myelopathy, Cervical Region develops in any one patient and they do NOT know any one patient’s degenerative time table from this condition.
>
QUESTION 1: Can you make a better "Non-Descriptive" definition from the above individual definitions
>
QUESTION 2: Do you agree with the statement starting with, "NO neurosurgeon knows..." is true?
>
