CMM-308: Thermal Intradiscal Procedures

Thermal intradiscal procedures (e.g., IDET, IDB/biacuplasty, Nucleoplasty, PIRFT, Disc-FX, coblation/PDD, etc.) are considered not medically necessary and therefore not covered due to lack of conclusive evidence and potential serious adverse effects. No covered indications, frequency/age/other criteria, or documentation requirements are provided; CPT codes are listed for informational purposes only and preauthorization requirements vary by payer.
