Spine Surgery - MEDICAID - VIRGINIA

This Humana Medicaid (Virginia) policy addresses coverage for spine surgery procedures including artificial cervical and lumbar disc replacement, cervical/thoracic/lumbar spinal fusion (arthrodesis), and sacroiliac joint (SIJ) stabilization/fusion via open or minimally invasive approaches using various FDA‑listed devices (eg, activL, ProDisc L, iFUSE and multiple SIJ implant systems). It pertains to patients with degenerative disc disease, cervical/lumbar/thoracic pain, SIJ dysfunction/instability, scoliosis/kyphosis, spondylolisthesis and related conditions; however, the provided excerpt contains no explicit limitations, age/frequency/prior‑treatment requirements or device‑specific coverage criteria, so definitive restrictions and billing/code rules must be confirmed in the full policy and cited assessments.
