CMM-310: Manipulation of the Spine Under Anesthesia

Cigna covers manipulation of the spine under anesthesia (MUA) only as an emergent closed treatment of traumatically induced vertebral fracture or dislocation to mitigate potential neurological compromise when open reduction has been considered, and excludes MUA for non‑traumatic indications or when performed in isolation without concurrent rehabilitation.
